Deepa replied. hi don' t worry, i travelled with my 6-month-old daughter, and everything was fine, make sure with the airline in advance that they provide bassinet and baby food on board, book it in advance, carry few light toys with you, like rattle or anything your boy plays with. When the plane takes off and lands make sure he is sucking someting, u can' t give him bottle at that time so just give him paicfier, even if he is not using it give him at that time, this will be for the air pressure which kind of disturbs babies too much and they cry terribly, my daughter use to suck thumb, so she didn' t cried at all, the point is that they should keep on moving their mouth so that no air pressure is build. some airlines provide baby food, but to be on safe side just carry with you some baby food jars of Gerber or whatever u are use to, and as for milk goes, u can' t take cow' s milk with you, so take some milk powder as some airlines don' t provide milk at all for babies, (i had a bad expierence) and if they provide u can use that, ask all these things from the airline before u fly.

anymore questions u are free to ask. Best of luck
