I am getting ready to fly across the country with my 6 month old. Does any one have any advice or suggestions that might help me. This will be the first time I have flown with him.

prestonsmamma, check in the General Chat forum under Raising Children....there's a couple of flying threads in there with lots of helpful info!
And..it's not that bad! I've been flying with my son since he was 3 months old and he's always done great.

fyi, a new toy is a great idea. snacks, books, and if you nurse a neck roll type pillow worked wonders for me to get him comfy.
