help! i need some momma advice.
we're taking nuggie on her first plane ride coming up here pretty soon and i need some advice on flying with a little one. i've already googled all things baby/airplane and i've talked to our pediatrician - his grand advice, and i'm not even kidding - take some cash so you can buy the people around a drink. i wish we could afford this, but sadly it's not in the cards... so, what else should i know? there's debate about preboarding - should we do it? should we not and hold out to get on the plane till the very last minute? where should we sit on the plane? front, back? is it really, really awful to change a wet diaper at our seat? i would never change a dirty one there, but i really want to avoid that gross potty on the plane if we can. i'm not doing bendryl, so i need some other ideas girls. i've got a bag of little toys she's never seen waiting to dole out when we get airborn. any advice is welcome!

You should probably just be prepared for a screaming baby and dirty looks.
there's no need to preboard. Most airlines have family boarding after the first round of seating. Sit as close to the bathroom as possible. Feed during take off and landing, this helps with the ear pressure. Dramamine works wonders, but the teething stuff called Camilia works great, too. It helps with the teething pain and helps keep baby calm and sleepy. I wouldn't worry about changing her unless she has a super stinky. Just change right before boarding and right after you get off...and paste that booty with lots of diaper cream. And buy yourself a drink. ;)
how long is the flight? we took alena at 4 mos on a plane to orlando. so it was a pretty short flight, but i stressed and stressed over it and finally decided that we were going to be "that" family and we'd never see the people again anyway. after all the stress, she ended up sleeping the whole way, both ways. we flew with her after she was a bit older too (though i don't really remember, so must have been the next year?) and she did fine then too. so my advice is don't stress, she'll probably surprise you. and if it's awful, just know that you'll never see the people again....
