I flew from Perth to Hobart (more then once) with a baby and no problems. Look after their ears on take off and landing, get them sucking on something

I flew to America when my daughter was three months old and it helped to make sure that the baby was sucking on something during take off and landing to help with the change in pressure. Also have some of their favourite toys/blankets to make them more comfortable. Make sure you pack plenty of nappies and formula, if not breastfeeding.
