Travelling with an infant is often easier than travelling with a toddler (toddlers tend to get fidgety). If you infant is nursing ... it will take care of the need to sterilize bottles and all the mixing and pouring etc. needs....also take off and landings are a breeze if you can get the infant to nurse during the these. Young infants also tend to sleep for longer which is wonderful ..... some of the things you will have to worry about are (especially if you are travelling alone): *The sheer number of things you will have to take along *Your own "call of nature" needs *Cranky baby syndrome...drives everyone nuts in those confined spaces Other things: * for infants they will allow you to take your stroller(pram the full size one) uptil the door of the aircraft....plz make a big deal that you need it at the door at the stopover...they often book it for the next leg of the flight and you may find yourself high and dry when you need it most. * getting a passport for your child is best ... do it immediately * immunization records and birth certificate should be kept handy *never underestimate the amout of daipers or feeds your child may need * if on formula....do carry the individual 4oz packs ...they are easy to cart around, convinient.....and the hostesses will gladly bring you warm water * car carriers are not required as most airlines will provide a baby crib * for bottle carry drop ins and extra nipples.... easier to dispose and change ... and you won't have to worry about your kid getting sick last peice of advice........travel with a companion...makes life a lot easier....................but alone is fine too...........I have mastered the technique of travelling with two little ones :)
