One thing I can say.I think it's easier to travel with newborns because they can't run away from you. Many parents think their babies are fragile and I can understand that but they are tough as well.

Is it safe to travel with a newborn on a plane?

Sky cot is the answer!

My baby was 3 months old and I had to fly quite far.From Europe to Asia and I was worried.No problem.Just be prepared. Think of it as army operation. Start preparing few days before the flight.

The best thing you can do is to book a sky cot or bassinet. A bassinet or bassinette is a bed specifically for babies on the plane. But do it quiet early because all of them might be booked.You might be like because your baby might sleep whole flight. That would be great!
