Any tips for traveling with a baby? Will be flying with a 4 month old in a few months. Any advice would be appreciated!

Book business class on a wide body airplane, fly on a 787, book minute suites at the airport. I think 4 months is an easy age depending on how well your baby sleeps. It’s the 12-18 months that become really hard.

Thank you!

We had good luck at that age and attempted to time take off and landing with feedings or naps. The flight staff are generally helpful and sympathetic to parents with infants. The only other advice I would offer is to ignore and quickly forget any rude people that you encounter…remember, you have to go home with the fussy baby and the other people on the flight will go on about their lives and you’ll never see them again.

Following, currently planning for a winter trip and expecting in the summer

How long of a flight? We took our 4 month old on an 11 hour flight. Had our nursing pillow with us and packed as light as possible with minimal carry-ons. Time the feeding for takeoff and landing. We booked our flights to align with his bedtime so it worked out well. Not sure if you/your wife are breastfeeding but that helped as the baby was latched on for a large portion of the time he was awake.

Will be about 4.5 hours but direct thankfully! Good call on timing feedings as much as we can. Thanks!

Working on a divorce where the father is claiming that he is unemployed because of the previous administration’s actions with DACA (he was brought to the States as a child). I know that the memo rescinding DACA was ultimately vacated—but OC is unsure whether this would count as voluntary unemployment for child support purposes. I believe it does as the application period to renew DACA benefits was reopened in 2020. Thoughts?
