1. Tips for flying with a baby

Here is a list, but I think the most important thing is to feed your daughter during take-off and landing to help her equalize the pressure in her ears. Have fun?

8. Dealing with tears
Traveling is hard on everybody and some babies are just less amenable to changes in scenery and routine. Try nursing or giving her something to suck to relieve the pressure in her ears, walking the aisles (if you can) or adding or removing a layer of clothes. Unfortunately, sometimes there's nothing you can do but hang in there. Don't assume every traveler on the plane is glaring at you -- most parents know exactly what you're going through!
