Flying with 3 month old!

I know this has been asked before.. But going to ask again. Lol.

Flying to Florida for a wedding next weekend. And I'm sooo nervous! I've never traveled with a baby before. We are only going Friday night to Sunday afternoon. We are staying with a family friend that is borrowing a portable crib so won't need that. DD has formula before bed but mostly drinks BM. So I know I have to bring pump and extra BM. But do I bring frozen milk?

So afraid I'm gunna forget something. Anyone have a list to share of what to pack?

Don't worry about forgetting something cause you can always buy it.

Can't help with bring BM cause DS was only on formula.

I never ever brought diapers with me. I would buy everything there. Less to lug with me.

I have flown with DS 3x so far and it's easier the younger they are

I dont know about bm as my dd is ff. I just brought enough formula for car airport plane and bought it when i got to fl. I bought diapers as well when we got there.
On the plane i brought a blankie, fave toy and new toy, lots of diapers, bottle, formula, tylenol (in case ears hurt), extra outfit, gas relief drops, teethhing toys...

For trip -swim suit, cover up, sun hat, sun block, bug spray, sheet for pack n play or crib, any meds, a jacket/pants just in case it its chilly

Eta my dd was 7 months. At 3 months the baby will sleep most of the plane ride..

I'm flying with dd when she's 4 months and I'm already stressing about what to bring!
My plan is the stroller and infant seat for the plane...but you also need the infant carrier base or a car seat. I'm also bringing my pump but don't plan on bringing any frozen milk. Ideally I want to nurse her on the plane bc it's a 30-40 minute feeding that will keep her quiet vs a 10-15 min bottle. I'm bringing a crib sheet and a full diaper bag for the plane (spare blanket outfits burp cloths socks diapers wipes formula bottle pacifier)

I flew with DD when she was 2 mo and we are heading to Cali in two wks for a wedding too. The first flight is always nerve wracking! I BF DD, but I will not be bringing a pump, as I don't pump when I'm with her (only at work), so I don't know about the frozen milk. We gate checked the car seat and stroller and will do that again. I only bring enough diapers/wipes for the flight and then buy what I need at my destination (however, bring more than you'll think you need just in case you get delayed and stuck in the airport). Bring at least 2 changes of clothes for you and baby in your carry on in case of a blowout (had that happen on her first flight, it wasn't pretty). Don't forget toys. Bring a sunhat for outdoor time and enough clothes for 3-4 changes a day, especially if you won't be anywhere where you can do laundry. Lots of burp cloths and your own pack n play sheets.

Thanks for the info ladies. She won't be out at the pool at all. But will bring sun hats for being outdoors.

And I think I'll bring all of her bibs since she can go through them like nobody's business!

Re: Flying with 3 month old!

Did you get her a seat? That makes it much easier. If not, ask at the gate. If they are not sold out some airlines will assign the baby a seat, reseating others if necessary. I had Jet Blue do this twice for me. I flew three times with DS before he turned a year- it was much, much easier than after he turned two for sure!

I flew Southwest and you know how they don't assign sets? I was sitting there with DS thinking who in the world would choose to sit with us but the people, I have sat with have always been kind- even if DS was being very difficult.

Good luck and safe travels:)
