Don't check carseats! They get thrown around and jostled, often times with the same force as a car crash. It's also MUCH safer and MUCH easier to have baby properly restrained in the carseat on the plane. Most airlines will sell you a seat for half the price if you call and tell them it's for a baby. Think about it. If even the coffee pot is restrained when it's not in use, your child should be too.
Miles is so adorable! I’ve flown several times with babies/small children and after doing some research learned that it’s so much safer for the baby to have its own seat on the airplane and use their car seat on board. Checking a car seat can damage the plastic as you don’t see how it’s thrown around by the baggage handlers. Just something to think about for future trips.
I still think it’s a great investment to buy the baby his/her own ticketed seat. I liked being able to keep our car seat with us and use it on the plane 😊☺️😊 The extra room is a lifesaver too!
Thank you for sharing this video. I’m traveling for the first time with my baby by myself and I’m so anxious about it. Best advice “no one died because a baby was crying next to them!” You’re so right- it’s life if it happens.
This helped me out so much because I am flying next week and I am a nervous wreck! And my daughter is 6 months so I am so appreciative with this video ! Thank you
Thank you so much for this video!!! I'll be traveling soon internationally with my 2 month old and this video gave me some peace of mind and tips. I appreciate it. God bless yall
My daughter made 7 months yesterday. We are flying next month and this is useful, since I am flying for the first time flying with a baby. New mom here.
Wow, really great job!!! I have flown with my 4-y/o about 10x in her life (first time 6 mos) and have NEVER been asked for a birth certificate! So sorry you had to deal with that! Truthfully, 6 mos is the easiest time to fly with baby (IMO) followed by the most challenging 1yr-2yrs, and then it gets easier again. My pediatrician OK’d using Benadryl if needed. I think we only used it 2x but it was a godsend. I have a list of my favorite Amazon toys for airplanes if you’d like! Also, I save lollipops and gummies exclusively for airplanes. That way she is so excited to have them and it’s super distracting. And with all this being said, if I have learned anything it’s that we have no control whatsoever! Both trips and baby’s behavior can be so unpredictable. I could have the best toys and the best plan but really what you need is to keep your sanity and patience and roll with everything. :)
Thank you so much! I'm traveling alone on Southwest with my 10 month old. First time traveling with baby. You're the only person who answered all my questions with your video. Only thing that wasn't super clear is when/ where did you get baby's boarding pass? I'm sure I'll figure it out when we get there.
A year later here, and my wife and I are flying for the first time with our 9 month old. How did yours handle it? What do you recommend? Edit: if you can even remember that long ago lol
Miles eyes and smile are just captivating. I so enjoy your videos and especially the ones with Miles. I used to travel with my daughter 45 years ago and it was a great experience. I'm with you when you say to not stress. That helps baby relax. Excellent videos.
I’m so glad you made this video! We’re flying in July & I’m so nervous. My baby will be 7 months. Were you able to keep your baby carrier on with him in it when you went through security?
I'm a 13 year old with absolutely no chance of having a baby, but I'm still going to watch every baby hack video just cause I love Miles so much. (And Kallie, too hahaha)
Southwest is the only airline that required birth certificate from my experience. I flew with United and American and none of them asked for it from me. But calling the airline ahead of time is a great idea. I also agree with you, carrier is easier than stroller to use while going through the airport. Even while pregnant, it was easier for me to keep my toddler on me than the stroller.
Thank you so much for this videos, it helped. My daughter will be 6 months old by the time I fly and I was clueless as a first time mom flying with a baby for the first time.
This was very helpful and greatly appreciated. I missed my flight and didn't have a birth certificate copy, so I grabbed a copy after watching your video. And thanks for the Tylenol tip, I didn't know that.
This was great! We will have a 7 month old the first time we travel as a family, so it's nice to see how this works. I was nervous about that. Thanks for the tips!
Great tips even for people without kids lol! You should look into one of those cloth plane tray table covers! I received one as a gift when I was like 9 and it's a LIFE SAVER since you have little pockets to store things accessibly during takeoff and landing while also not having to touch the dirty tray itself. I think it would be awesome for kids too!
I just watched a youtube channel & they were flying & they needed a birth certificate. Maybe it's something that just changed recently. Miles is so adorable & such a handsome little fellow. I always say there are some babies you can just tell they are boys & Miles is one you can tell. I followed your trip, looked like a great time for all. Mary
I wish I had to carry just a nursing cover. I have no choice but to carry pump, pump parts, bottles, warmers, and a whole world of items. What is that item that you’re using to wear him inside the flight while breastfeeding?
As I sit and watch this… tomorrow will be OUR first time flying to Florida, my son’s name is ALSO Miles, he is literally 6 and a half months old TODAY, and our last name begins with a “B”…. THE SIMILARITIES ARE STRIKING!!! Thank you so much for this video. It was very helpful!! :)
I am not planning on going anywhere soon with my 10week old(my husband doesn’t like to fly either) BUT great tips and I mainly watched because Miles is so cute! I have really enjoyed your videos!
It's good to keep in mind that not all babies will sleep on a plane. We've flown with poor daughter when she was 9 and 17 months, and the longest she's slept on any flight was 20 minutes, even when it was past bedtime.
Your pep talk at the end really helped me feel so much better lol Ive traveled with my son when he was 3 months and I was STRESSED, now im about to do it again without my husband this time so im terrified again lol😭
Thanks for this video, I'm travelling alone with a 12 month old this coming weekend and I'm nervous as hell. Last time we travelled, he was a month old and it was a nightmare, especially during the descending, he cried until we landed. I'll take all the necessary precautions and more
Thanks for the video. Im flying to california with my 5month old for the first time and two cats from hwaii we are moving and land in cali and im very nervous about what to pack and how to fly with her.
Great video. We flew with our 2 year old to Germany. Luckily, it was before 9/11 and was much easier on many levels, it seems, than traveling now, but many of your suggestions apply no matter when you are traveling with little ones. Miles looks like a sweetheart the whole time. Before that, when we flew with our son as an infant, I remember grabbing his birth certificate just because I figured: how else could I prove he was ours if someone took him from me and said - prove it? Would be hard, anyway, but at least I might have a fighting change with that document. Criminals exist.
Hi dear.. im going to hawai, can i bring my stroller inside the plane ? After enter to the gate i will give it to the flight attendant.. my stroller is uppa baby vista.
Very helpful! Thanks! I’m flying with my 6 month old for the first time in a couple weeks and I appreciate all the tips! Especially at the end what you said about not worrying and staying relaxed 😎
So any tips on letting your kids fly alone without you?? 😂😫😭 My mom recently moved from MO to FL to retire and I’m crazy enough to agree to letting my 17,13, and 6 year old fly together non stop to go see them for 2 weeks end of May 😭 I’m a legit nervous wreck What did I agree to????? I’m regretting all my kid’s vacation choices
We’re about to take our 6 month old baby Aiden on a plane for the first time to visit my grandmother, & this video was super helpful. Now I know to take the birth certificate just Incase, and learned other great tips. Thank you! 🤗
I would never check a car seat. Have you seen how they throw things? I would worry about the integrity of something so important. I would always buy an extra seat with it.
Thank you for this helpful video! We are attemtping to travel tmrw for the forst time with our baby. Our son’s name is also 6 months and named Miles! 😁
Everyone seems to be taking a car seat with them... What if I don’t wanna take a car seat? I’ll be traveling alone with my two month old, and I’m taking a carrier and a stroller. It’s gonna be two long flights and I don’t think I can handle carrying a car seat around everywhere especially since my stroller doesn’t accommodate it
I’m curious if they would accept a picture of the birth certificate 🤔 I have definitely heard of people almost missing their flights because they didn’t have the certificate though
Great video! I enjoyed the vacation pictures too! I think Miles is just a chilled little man! Mama needs a martini too and glad you eventually got one Mother’s Day!! 🍸
Do I have a baby? No. Am I traveling anytime soon? No. Still going to watch the video? I sure am.
Omg same lol
Yup
lol same and im 12
Same lol
😂😂😂😂😂

When you get to the gate ask if they have any extra seats, you'll get one for free ;)
I wish that all flights would allow this. We are flying in a month and they won't allow babies under 2 their own seat. They have to sit on your lap.
Thank you for sharing this video. I’m traveling for the first time with my baby by myself and I’m so anxious about it. Best advice “no one died because a baby was crying next to them!” You’re so right- it’s life if it happens.
“ nobody is gonna die listening to a baby cry” hahah so true! ♥️
*hears baby crying*
Somebody: *head explodes from sound waves*
And everyone wears headphones when traveling anyways 😊
better pack ear protection
1 step ahed of ya
OMG so true, right?
If savvy travelers aren’t traveling with noise cancelling headphones then they shouldn’t be traveling
This helped me out so much because I am flying next week and I am a nervous wreck! And my daughter is 6 months so I am so appreciative with this video ! Thank you
My husbands the same way, I’ll have myself and our son ready and he waits until the last minute to get organized lol
Thank you so much for this video!!! I'll be traveling soon internationally with my 2 month old and this video gave me some peace of mind and tips. I appreciate it. God bless yall
My daughter made 7 months yesterday. We are flying next month and this is useful, since I am flying for the first time flying with a baby. New mom here.
Thank you for this video. I am traveling with my 6 month old tomorrow and you eased some of worries. ❤️😊
Great video, you actually showed the airport and the plane which helped my older child for his first flight...helped me too thankyou

You already know why I’m here👶🏼 I have already traveled with my babe he’s now 5 yrs old.
Thank you so much. 1st time flying and I have a 9 month old and a 3 years old.

Do you know how babies are made?
This comment is questionable.
😂
@@kakarot9309 spotted the pervert.
TTC right now and this was all great info! We travel a minimum of 4x a year so any future babies would have to come with.
This video was so helpful! I’ll be flying with my 5 month old for the first time in less than a week! Thank you for sharing

Haybat Crawbuck Do you think spirit requires ID for 18 month old?
Not sure, call them to confirm just in case they do require it
Almost all actually require it, but very rarely is it ever asked for. Like, super rare.
Thank you so much for this videos, it helped. My daughter will be 6 months old by the time I fly and I was clueless as a first time mom flying with a baby for the first time.

I need this i’am gonna fly a 15 hour flight with twins that are 3 months old😬🥰 thank you
Mines are 1 yrs old and I have anxiety about it
Sorry this might be a dumb question, do you take your little one to restroom with you?
Omg good luck
@@Rwynn-q8k yes you do, if you're travelling alone, mostly babies don't respond well to strangers. It's awkward
Yikes!!! Any advice ?!
These are some GREAT tips. And this is coming from parents who fly ALL the time with our babies!
This is very timely! I'm flying to Florida with a 5 month old very soon!
Thanks for the heads up on the birth cert!
Thank you, I'm traveling with my 1 year old In a 7 hr flight. I'm so nervous but this helped.
Oh my! Soooo glad I watched this. Will have birth certificate.
awesome video. great tips. we have a 11 month old and this will be his first flight. wish us luck.
This was great! We will have a 7 month old the first time we travel as a family, so it's nice to see how this works. I was nervous about that. Thanks for the tips!
Hi, where did you get your nursing cover? I really like it, I’m also traveling with my 6 month old in a few weeks
Also want to know!!
Thank you!!!!! I am so nervous with my 3 month old
Can you pls make a video on how to start with baby food pls and how many time do you give them. pls
Thank you
Great tips flying with my 4 month old next week
First time mummy traveling with my baby
Thank you the video is helpful
Great tips even for people without kids lol! You should look into one of those cloth plane tray table covers!

I have a flight next week. Just me and my children, 9 y/o, 5 month old and my very active 2 year old! 🙏🏼😰 ✈️
HI MILES 🤩💙 such a handsome boy. Love your videos but when Miles is featured OMG
I’m definitely bringing my kids birth certificate 😱 flying next Friday 😫
planning on flying my 4 month old next month. Great tips, thanks for sharing!
I just watched a youtube channel & they were flying & they needed a birth certificate. Maybe it's something that just changed recently.
Miles is so adorable & such a handsome little fellow. I always say there are some babies you can just tell they are boys & Miles is one you can tell.
I followed your trip, looked like a great time for all.

What is that item that you’re using to wear him inside the flight while breastfeeding?
This was so helpful! My daughter is 5 months now but will be 8 months when we travel. I’m nervous 😬
Who's just watching this to look at the cute baby?
As I sit and watch this… tomorrow will be OUR first time flying to Florida, my son’s name is ALSO Miles, he is literally 6 and a half months old TODAY, and our last name begins with a “B”…. THE SIMILARITIES ARE STRIKING!!!
Thank you so much for this video. It was very helpful!! :)
I have a 14 hour flight soon with a 3 month old . I will be traveling alone do you recommend bringing a stroller and car seat ?
She looks similar to my wife. I watched with my 22 month old and he’s like, “Mommy!” 😆
Thank you sm! My daughter will be 9 months when we leave and this video helped my nerves Alot lol
Babies cry, wish people would have more grace 🥰
As a working mom, got to be honest, what is your eyeliner??? You do a great job:)
Was the carseat damaged at all? Also, do you know if the airline gives you a bassinet on the plane or some sort of place to put the baby?
Aww Myles is adorable. I don't have a baby but this video was very helpful!
When he is old enough to eat lollipops I know that helps with ears popping as well.
Miles is adorable
Clicked really fast ! Love watching your videos always and baby Miles is so cute!
I am not planning on going anywhere soon with my 10week old(my husband doesn’t like to fly either) BUT great tips and I mainly watched because Miles is so cute!
I have really enjoyed your videos!
haha thank you!
I like it "ok Jesus take the wheel"
Miles is so adorable.
What a cute baby! Thank you for sharing! 💕
Flying first time with our (almost) 5 month old next week. Thanks for all the tips!
Hope it goes great!!! Traveling with kids is an amazing experience once you get used to it.
Can you let me know where you got your nursing cover from?
It's good to keep in mind that not all babies will sleep on a plane. We've flown with poor daughter when she was 9 and 17 months, and the longest she's slept on any flight was 20 minutes, even when it was past bedtime.
you are such a great mom!
Love your video. I would love for you to continue to make Day in the life and budgeting videos. Thanks.
Your pep talk at the end really helped me feel so much better lol Ive traveled with my son when he was 3 months and I was STRESSED, now im about to do it again without my husband this time so im terrified again lol😭
Girl same lmao
Thanks, very helpful ♥️
Great video. But how did you change your son's diaper inside the plane?
Thanks for this video, I'm travelling alone with a 12 month old this coming weekend and I'm nervous as hell. Last time we travelled, he was a month old and it was a nightmare, especially during the descending, he cried until we landed. I'll take all the necessary precautions and more
Make a video about the bonding between the baby and his pa
Great idea! I love seeing Miles with Michael!
Thanks for the video. Im flying to california with my 5month old for the first time and two cats from hwaii we are moving and land in cali and im very nervous about what to pack and how to fly with her.
When he gets a bit older like when he’s 3 or 4 give him lollipops it will help and he will be happy too
Great video. We flew with our 2 year old to Germany.

Hi dear.. im going to hawai, can i bring my stroller inside the plane ? After enter to the gate i will give it to the flight attendant.. my stroller is uppa baby vista.
I never fly Southwest because my planes were always delayed when I used to fly them. Now it's always American!
Oogle at Luxury I love, love, love American. It definitely wouldn’t Southwest if there wasn’t a delay.
Lucky. My baby would never baby-wear, nor would be fall asleep on our shoulder. We've resigned to not traveling until he's a bit older.
Omg thank you! I am flying with my little one 5 months old in 2 weeks. This was super helpful! 👏🏻🙏🏻
yay! good luck, you got this mama!
Did you need your baby’s birth certificate having the baby’s passport?
Very helpful! Thanks! I’m flying with my 6 month old for the first time in a couple weeks and I appreciate all the tips! Especially at the end what you said about not worrying and staying relaxed 😎
Great flying tips with a baby. Thanks for sharing with us!
So any tips on letting your kids fly alone without you?? 😂😫😭
My mom recently moved from MO to FL to retire and I’m crazy enough to agree to letting my 17,13, and 6 year old fly together non stop to go see them for 2 weeks end of May 😭
I’m a legit nervous wreck
What did I agree to?????
I’m regretting all my kid’s vacation choices
Where did you get your backpack?
We’re about to take our 6 month old baby Aiden on a plane for the first time to visit my grandmother, & this video was super helpful. Now I know to take the birth certificate just Incase, and learned other great tips. Thank you! 🤗
I would never check a car seat. Have you seen how they throw things? I would worry about the integrity of something so important. I would always buy an extra seat with it.
We check them all the time. Granted, it's not our "everyday" seat and we only gate check. They're carseats we ONLY use when we travel.
Awesome video! Thank you.
Helo can i ask, is infant baby’s name in the guest ticket?
Thank you for this helpful video! We are attemtping to travel tmrw for the forst time with our baby.
Our son’s name is also 6 months and named Miles! 😁
@2:30 Hi isn't it risky to medicate babies during flight? Some airlines and pediatricians advice against it.
Definitely helped me feel more confident to travel!! Thanks :)
Here I am looking for tips on traveling with babies and the 1st video that pops up, mama’s name is Kallie and my son’s name is also Myles 🤯🤯
You seem like such a fun mom ♥️ thanks for the tips! Xxx
I am about to fly southwest with my 2 month old. Can you also use immunization records for verification for your baby?
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much
Miles is just tooo cute!
aww thank you!
I have seen number of videos related to this topic but I didn’t find valuable info like u
Everyone seems to be taking a car seat with them... What if I don’t wanna take a car seat? I’ll be traveling alone with my two month old, and I’m taking a carrier and a stroller. It’s gonna be two long flights and I don’t think I can handle carrying a car seat around everywhere especially since my stroller doesn’t accommodate it
Can I ask what bag you were using as your carry on?
First video i see of your channel and its super cool!!!
I’m curious if they would accept a picture of the birth certificate 🤔 I have definitely heard of people almost missing their flights because they didn’t have the certificate though
Great video! I enjoyed the vacation pictures too! I think Miles is just a chilled little man! Mama needs a martini too and glad you eventually got one Mother’s Day!! 🍸
