]]> 78914 1 32 Tip Fly midweek, and midday if you can; flights then are less crowded.

]]> 78915 2 36 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/210454/36.jpg Sit near the wing Request a seat over the wing. That’s where the engines are located, and some moms find the noise lulls infants to sleep.

]]> 78916 3 46 Tip Don’t check your baby stroller; use it all the way to the gate, and then ask the gate attendants to stow it.

]]> 78917 4 51 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/210454/51.jpg Feed your baby Feed your baby during takeoff and landing, or give them a pacifier. Sucking and swallowing helps prevent the painful earache that can develop due to air pressure changes in the cabin. And offer them your breast or a bottle often during the flight to prevent dehydration.

]]> 78918 5 68 Tip The Transportation Security Administration allows you to bring more than three ounces of baby formula, breast milk, or juice so long as you declare these items for inspection at the checkpoint.

]]> 78919 6 79 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/210454/79.jpg Walk with them Walk your baby up and down the aisle if they start to fuss. The combination of the motion and the change of scenery can stop a crying fit in its tracks. Bring a baby sling to make pacing more pleasant.

]]> 78920 7 91 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/210454/91.jpg Check their diapers Check their diapers often so a soggy or poopy diaper doesn’t have a chance to send them into a tizzy.

]]> 78921 8 99 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/210454/99.jpg Escape to the bathroom Nothing working? Hide in the bathroom for a while (as long as you’re not inconveniencing other passengers). The close quarters will provide a soothing cocoon for you and your baby, and you’ll escape the nasty looks of your seatmates for a while!

]]> 78922 9 113 Fact Seventy-one percent of travelers surveyed think families with young children should sit in their own section of a plane.
