Our 10 month old Aaron loves to travel. He has already flown twice - and he is a model citizen when flying, most of the time. Here are a few of our tips for traveling with an infant:

- Take a bottle to feed the child during take off and landing. This helps to calm them and also helps with the change in pressure that can make their ears uncomfortable.

- Make sure that you pack a carry on with baby essentials including an extra change of clothes, their favorite blanket and a favorite toy. You never know when your luggage might get lost and those familiar items can be very helpful to calming a baby.

How about you? Any tips for traveling with children?
