What precautions have you taken for an infant or baby on airplanes since they can’t wear a mask?

Not flying

This is me. I guess I am trying to be convinced to fly. Grandparents have not seen the baby since his birth. :(

Airplanes are safe!! The filters are incredibly successful at filtering out particles. If you’re baby is small you can control what surfaces they touch.

What kind of precautions? I mean just hold your baby and keep them close to you. Make sure your hands are clean before giving them food, ensure their toys are clean. I am curious what other kind of precautions one would take.

It’s not just the airplane, it’s the airport. Think of all the people and all of the germs.

I think we’ve learned that most of the risk of covid isn’t from surface transmission but from aerosol. I think the rain cover on the stroller is a good idea.

like

Airport: Use the stroller and use the rain / weather protector over the stroller.

Flight: Clorox wipes - separate seat - carseat - drape the muslin / swaddle cover - business / first class if possible

It’s not perfect but that’s how I’d do it with an infant

The rain protector is a fantastic idea!

We’ve flown twice with our one year old. Rain cover over stroller in the airport, wipe down all surfaces on the plane. Mask compliance has been very high from what we’ve seen. It’s not ideal but we’re otherwise very COVID-risk averse and we’ve decided we’re okay with these specific risks.

Also we generally sit in first class so agree with the above that there is just more space, which helps.

Don't fly at mealtimes. The amount of people eating in airports with masks off is insane. Early morning is probably fine but lunch and dinner times are nightmares.

Yes another great tip!

We’ve been TTC for 7 months now. I was 10 days late for my period, took a pregnancy test 3 different times in the last week and all negative. Reading online i learned that i could be pregnant and just need the hcg levels to build up for a positive test. But last night, I had the worst cramps and now have light bleeding, and some clots 😭... this whole process is such an emotional rollercoaster.. has anyone else had a similar experience? I think this could be an early termination but not sure.

I got lucky and now have leadership that seems to care about my career growth, but I'm 1. a little overwhelmed taking over a new role from someone who went on parental leave earlier than expected and 2. not used to thinking outside my day to day job, happy to keep my head down and just produce good work.

most of what I bring up in these meetings are logistical or prioritization concerns but I feel like my manager is expecting a lot more from me.

My wife got a job that requires us to relocate to San Diego. We have never lived there and know little about the city. We are planning to rent.

Are there other neighborhoods with similar vibes - restaurants, bars, lively, good for walking, clean, safe, young, diverse and accessible that are more affordable? Please share recommendations. How much should we reasonably budget to rent a 2bd/2bath?
