10 Easy Tips for Flying With an Infant

10 Easy Tips for Flying With an Infant

I absolutely did not expect to be traveling with Izzie nearly as frequently as I have been these last six months! Two Saturdays ago she flew on her 14th and 15th flights! Thanks to two spur-of-the-moment weekend trips to visit faraway friends, an unexpected funeral to attend, and a faraway wedding, she has flown almost monthly since she was born.

Now, I usually prefer to travel as light as possible, but with an infant, that's not always very light. Because of this, I've discovered a few unique ideas that can help traveling through airports with an infant a little easier. Hopefully you will find them helpful as well!

Registration is now open! | July Birth Photography Q+A

I may or may not be running around like a chicken with its head chopped off today. Wait. Have you ever seen that? I have a friend from high school who was scarred by witnessing that very scene in-person... she grew up on a farm and to this day does not like chickens. I always smile when I think of that... then I have a wake-up call and wonder what the heck my girls will be scarred by as children that may follow them into adulthood.

Today! Big day.....!!
