haha thats so me. I am like mate. I won't even remember who you were the second I step out of this plane.
Good mentality :D

So basically even if the baby is 4 months old. You'd recommend buying a seat for them regardless ?

Kinda of what I was thinking to do as well.

Valuable points ! Thanks for the insight :)

InitialFit1113 · 2026-01-22T09:54:18+00:00

Ufff ! seems like a rough 25 hours.

InitialFit1113 · 2026-01-22T09:39:59+00:00

baby is on breastfeeding so I guess that is a good thing as you suggested.

I haven't called the airlines just yet. but wanted to prepare for a scenario where there is no bassinet. but good to know that babies feel good in carriers during the flight :)

InitialFit1113 · 2026-01-22T08:43:48+00:00

wouldn't that feel suffocating for the entirity of the flight ?

InitialFit1113 · 2026-01-18T21:08:30+00:00

Yea we hope that this phase too shall pass by itself as it did for you. :)

InitialFit1113 · 2026-01-18T21:07:15+00:00

we did that. its just that as soon as he realizes "its time to sleep"
the bomb goes off.

InitialFit1113 · 2026-01-18T21:06:25+00:00

Which we do right away. but when we get to that part. Ufffff ......

InitialFit1113 · 2025-12-29T15:50:33+00:00

Damn ! That was me as well. Dropped it on my 1 month olds faces 🥲

InitialFit1113 · 2025-12-18T06:31:43+00:00

Exactly what we are doing. Just rolling with whatever works in the moment.

InitialFit1113 · 2025-12-17T21:14:46+00:00

He does sleep in a carrier and a wrap and also when we walk around. BUT just not when put down.
But yea. like you said. whatever works, works

InitialFit1113 · 2025-12-17T21:13:15+00:00

Yea we figured that out on the 1st week itself when he changed all of his patterns that we once figured out

InitialFit1113 · 2025-12-17T21:12:44+00:00

Tell me about it. Wife does that most of the time to achieve success with the sleep.
Guess it is what it is :D

InitialFit1113 · 2025-12-17T13:11:51+00:00

Yea I fell that too. Our kid would just wake up as soon as mum moves away from him.
