Send your husband with the baby and take the next flight.

Or maybe I just don’t take the next flight and have a solo staycation 🤔

New non-noisy toys that the baby hasn’t seen before and will be interested in. Bottles in a little cooler bag (these are OK per TSA). Baby’s favorite blanket/small pillow.. favorite book.. you got this
I have done a solo 7hr flight with my son when he was a slightly older baby, can’t remember exactly how old, and he was on my lap the whole time. Not easy, but it was better once he fell asleep. If I had more money at the time, I probably would have gotten him his own seat.

We got my baby her own seat but I’m sure I’m going to end up holding her the whole time anyway because she’s a little squirm ball and does not like to stay where you put her 🤦🏼‍♀️

Sticky notes (great for sticking to the back of the seat and pulling off), snacks, bottles or breastfeed, couple books, download kids tv shows and bring kids over the ears headphones. It’s a long flight, but you’ll make it thru! I had friends visit from Australia with a 1mo!!

I’ll bring both, just in case. Hopefully won’t have to use them, but I’d rather be prepared if the trip is as disastrous as I fear.

I’ve only been at this company a month- is it way too early to start applying elsewhere? I feel like I made a mistake and I don’t want to miss out on the “great reshuffling” with all these great opportunities.
