With my oldest, I went on a 6 hour flight from California to Florida when she was barely two months old and all went just fine. (This was around Christmastime as well, excepting it was seven years ago.) I'd say a one hour flight would be no problem at all.

Yes, i think it is ok, I flew with my son when he was 8 months & just had to be sure to get him to take sips of a drink on the way up & down, so his ears didnt hurt.

My little one flew all the way from the UK to America at 4 months old. I also know babies who went from the UK to the states and from UK to South America and UK to Europe even earlier than 4 months. I wouldn't have worried about taking her on a domestic 1 hour flight. We didn't have any problems and slept nearly the whole flight in the onboard bassinet. I think it is the easiest flight we will ever have with her. The only problem we had was setting her to the new time zone both in the US and when we got back to the UK - but this only took a couple of days to get used to the time difference. The only thing I would say is that I wouldn't have been comfortable taking her before her first innoculations. I also breastfed up until we went on the trip which could help with natural immunity. Enjoy your trip. Taggie :0)

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
