“Just comfort your baby” I’m gonna remember this. So nervous for our first flight

[@oranjmusemeyer968]

A tip I learned from a transatlantic flight was take two styrofoam cups and get a flight attendant to boil water , then get paper towels wet with the hot water squeeze the paper towels to moist but not dripping and stick them in the bottom of the cups- place a cup over each ear of the baby. Like magic the baby will stop crying! Works every time! Their little ears suddenly feel normal and they calm right down. I have been on flights with babies screaming for hours and no one offers to help- I am always amazed that flight attendants nowadays don't know this trick. I have had flight attendants stand in awe , ironically it was a flight attendant that taught me many years ago. Even when there is a language barrier it still is a welcome assist!

[@giselleh2399]

By bottom do you mean the underneath or inside the cup at the bottom?

[@MariaandMontessori]

Now more than ever I wish you could attach diagrams in KZbin comments..

[@imonaboatyea]

@@giselleh2399 I've used this technique before, hot water moistened paper towel goes on the inside of the cup, pushed to the bottom. What you are doing is creating warm steamy air that releases the pressure inside their little ears. Works like a charm, especially if the kiddo has an ear infection or similar.

[@oranjmusemeyer968]

@@giselleh2399 inside the cup!

[@MultiDaisy1995]

I’m seriously so in awe right now! How cool!

[@laurahousley480]

Early morning flights were always the best for us! Dress them for the flight the night before and change their diaper while still sleeping if possible and get in the car and go. Had some amazing airplane early morning naps that way.

[@heyshayla]

GREAT IDEA

[@natalierivera3408]

This is what we're doing on the 24th. I'm thinking of putting him in either a onsie or a button shorts onsie. I'm not sure yet but will try and get his naps in on the plane as well

[@luddite2702]

But always. Show some consideration for the other passengers who have actually paid a fare for the privelage of enduring your screaming brat for the duration of the flight. Bye Karen. Zzzzzzzzz. Stop being so selfish and inconsiderate.

[@MariaandMontessori]

Clean their nose! Aspirators! Nose Frida! Saline Solution! Whatever you're using, get that airway to be clean and clear right before takeoff and landing. We were recommended this by my brother's pediatrician years ago and it works like a charm! And then ....feed feed feed, suck suck suck 🙈👍 The slight pressure from headphones also really helps their ears actually!

[@heyshayla]

Oh wow this is great!! Thank you!

[@squidneylicious93]

This seriously is a LIFESAVER for me!! Flying for the first time with two kiddos (3 months and 2 years) and this gave me some relief for my anxiety with flying with them, I had NO idea what I’m doing! Thank you for the tips!

[@jillian8513]

This was perfect timing for me since I’m flying with my 10-month old in 3 days!

[@bubkins9995]

Thank you! So helpful! I saw your video on cloth diapering and your tips helped me find a really good set of used ones 😄❤️

[@heyshayla]

Yay!!!!

[@hannahmartinez4259]

Thank you so much, this video will be a life saver, no doubt about it!

Oh thank you!!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS

We have to travel from Maine to California with our then almost 5mo for a double funeral in June..this is helpful for sure!

[@heyshayla]

Ugh I’m sorry you have to fly for that. I hope this is helpful

This was a good video.very informative..loved it

Have so much fun!!

[@jaileenecabrera4160]

OMG thank you so much for your videos! Were you able to gate check the pop n' play? Or it does it count as a luggage?

[@carolines3953]

I’ve flown a lot with my kids but not since covid. We’re flying transatlantic this summer and I’m concerned for my baby since his immune system is still developing and he can’t have a vaccine yet. It’s reassuring to hear they have hepa filters etc. Thank you!

[@ginaaragon1117]

I plan on flying soon as my daughter gets her passport in (her father is Mexican and we are currently in the middle of the immigration process). She’ll be almost 3 months old at that point. Very helpful video thank you!

[@jennhendrikson2189]

Um you are amazing, I loved this! I’m a new mama to a 3.5 month old and you are everything I hope to be as a mama, thank you for sharing this!

[@emilie-6636]

Update for international travellers: the baby needs a passport (no birth certificate) and check the arline policy for what you can bring along (they all have different policies)

[@ginapurcell1732]

I miss your weekly videos!!

[@heyshayla]

Me too! The move rocked my schedule I’ll be working in getting more out

[@danceportal06]

Is security check okay with the snacks you mentioned to bring on the flight for baby?

[@laurarosch4022]

I need a boppy pillow in order to nurse. Do you know if it is going to count as one of my allowances?

[@simplyamaeznpnay]

Tip for the next flight, if the seat next to you or near you is open, the car seat can be used in the seat for free.

[@heyshayla]

What?! Really!

[@simplyamaeznpnay]

Yup! Just ask at the check in counter :) if the seat isn’t immediately near you, they could possibly ask the person next to you to move.

[@elisamarie265]

If you’re using a car seat for the baby on the plane do you need to pay when booking your ticket or pay at the airline desk?

[@daisylin1280]

I have a question because next month will be my first time traveling with my 1 yr toddler. Can you bring a Ready To Use milk bottles for your baby? If I put it in the diaper bag and go through the TSA I’m afraid they’re gonna throw it out. Will they allow it?

[@CaringWithCarrie]

We’re going to be traveling with a 5-7 week old (depending on when they’re born) from TN to MA on a plane and I’m so worried I won’t have the space for everything I’m thinking I’ll need 🙈

[@heyshayla]

Epically that age, you don’t need much. Bring a carrier, keep them close and they’ll be happy!

[@heyshayla]

Also, ask about the bassinet!

[@hadasgoldfarb5571]

We traveled with our baby from New York to California when I he was about 4 weeks old. It’s the easiest time to travel with a baby. I wore him in a moby wrap and he basically slept the whole time.

[@lesliedavis9197]

Traveling from Germany to Texas alone this July & im so nervous 😬

[@heyshayla]

Gah! Just Worry about how your baby is thats it. ❤️❤️❤️

[@xyzabc4752]

Please guide me what essentials i should take with me while flying with4 month old ? And tips also please anyone

[@pattyk3610]

Did you put wipes, diaper cream, hand sanitizer, etc into your TSA zip top liquid bag and did that have to be below a certain volume?

[@heyshayla]

Wipes you have to pull out. I didn’t carry on diaper cream. And hand sani you can easily get in travel size

[@ah-setx7477]

@@heyshayla apologies..what does it mean that wipes u have to pull out?!8

[@twistgirl15]

My baby takes formula, can I bring the can in the diaper bag? It's going to be a long flight, so I don't want to bring small containers

[@explodingorder]

Seems like a flame retardant car seat is the one time you’d really want/need that technology.

[@heyshayla]

Wool is also flame resistant. Plus although the seat has good intentions the seats in your vehicle typically has fame retardant

[@gissellef2600]

Im traveling this may I was wonder if you called delta beforehand that you were bringing a baby, since they fly for free?

[@heyshayla]

Nope! You check a box when you buy the ticket “infant on lap”

[@ashleysinniah6789]

How was MSP TSA. In flying from msp to North Carolina next week and that's the only part I'm really worried about. It always feels so pressured.

[@heyshayla]

It was no prob, they were helpful. What are you worried about?

[@ashleysinniah6789]

@@heyshayla mostly worried about just feeling rushed when it's a new experience and I feel like I won't know what to pull out of bags, i.e. frozen breast milk?

[@hadasgoldfarb5571]

Take your time. I have never pulled anything out. I wear the baby while going thru security. They do make you put the car seat and stroller thru the X-ray but other than that I don’t do anything different

[@araceli2328]

Perfect timing! I needed this video. I’m due in July and we are going to Mexico this winter.

[@macydiy9697]

make sure you get the baby's passport right after its born! you don't want that to hinder your plans!

[@Jolly4012]

But is it mandatory to bring a car seat or travel with a car seat ? We are planning to fly from CA to VA with a 7montholdbaby. And just rent a car seat when we arrive at VA

[@heyshayla]

This will work! Not mandatory :)

[@Jolly4012]

@@heyshayla thanks a lot!

Where do you rent a car seat from? The car seat I have is not mobile.

We have to travel in 2 weeks with our newborn twins abd we are NERVOUS. Also did people stare at you with the “how dare you travel during COVID “ look 😬

[@heyshayla]

I barely looked at anyone else!

[@salud_con_sabor_nutrition]

Does baby need a mask? Ventilation is low on plane, so I'm assuming yes?

[@NoorBakeer]

Which seats do recommend choosing?

[@heyshayla]

Tough call. Isle so you can get in and out easy. Window so you don’t have to worry as much about containing all the stuff. Window wins I think

[@simpleandhealthymama]

I found flying with a baby way easier than a toddler. Yeah some people may have seen my boobs but it always went pretty well. I found the lack of a changing table the most disappointing and difficult thing. They told me to put a blanket on the toilet seat instead. I didn't and got in trouble for changing her on the floor instead but it was really all I could do.

[@denisseyanezc]

Can I take a can of formula on my personal item (diaper bag)

[@MarcosVannah]

Yes, you can! I did this, this summer. A big can, too.

[@rochelecirnemcmindes670]

How many frozen bags of milk are allowed to bring ?

[@indiangem1234]

I want to know this too!! I can’t seem to find it anywhere!!!

[@MarcosVannah]

The only thing the airlines says is "a reasonable amount" so how long are you traveling? How much does your baby drink? Just calculate it from there! They can't tell you not to bring it and unless you're bringing GALLONS worth, they can't tell you it's too much, especially when YOU know how much YOUR BABY drinks lol

[@alohilanizapata53]

Are you and your sister twins?

[@moonlitangel1946]

So...if I bring my stroller they'd have to charge me for flying it...?

[@julieborodin]

Nope! Flew from MA to UT with checked luggage, a NUNA stroller and carseat. We checked the car seat in (it’s free for babies) and she sat in her stroller until boarding. Then we dropped off the stroller right by the airplane door & that was it! Super easy, hopefully helpful

[@julieborodin]

They’ll give you a gate check sticker/tag for your stroller if you bring it up to the door.

[@arslanbugra9861]

You talk so fast, I couldn't follow properly till the end.

[@SpyChiick]

You definitely DO NOT need a note from your co parent/spouse to fly. That’s the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard.

[@heyshayla]

Seems like a good idea for the Saftey of the child

[@MoonFlowerBudgetCo]

According to TSA you actually do. It’s to certify that the child isn’t being abducted and the other parent is aware of the travel. Too many times parents take their children and don’t return when there visitation rights are over.

[@luddite2702]

Bye Karen. Zzzzzzzzz

[@luddite2702]

Best tip is don't do it. Have some consideration for the other passengers on the plane and don't be so selfish.

[@heyshayla]

😂

[@luddite2702]

Best tip is don't take them on planes at all. Flights are expensive and the least I expect is to travel in comfort and peace and quiet. Airlines should put them all together in the back of the plane like they used to do with smokers and let them annoy each other. Its time the silent majority spoke up against these selfish and inconsiderate parents. Its ironic that these brats are on the plane for free but they make life a misery for fare paying passengers. Airlines need to get a grip of this situation and charge all passengers the same regardless of age.

[@heyshayla]

😂😂😂 I’m sorry you feel this way

[@luddite2702]

@@heyshayla I ve had some bad experiences about this. I once saw one vomit on another passenger and the mother never even apologised. So entitled its unbelievable. I've also had so many flights ruined by them. I'm not asking for much when I expect to travel in peace and quiet. It should be a given. The airlines create a lot of these problems too by their stupid policy of mixing them randomly with the other passengers. Japan Airlines now has a picture of a baby in the seating plan so we know where the are and you can book seats away from them. More Airlines need to do this.
