When to Take Baby on First Airplane Ride?

Posted on July 22, 2008 in Health & Safety by little mochi

Grandpa in Taiwan passed away last week.  At first, I was going to stay home to be with Little Mochi but after much thought, I’ve decided to leave him with my mom and go back with my husband’s family (it’s Grandpa from hubby’s side).

It would be great to bring Little Mochi with us.  But it’s nearly a 15 hour flight.  Plus, the 3 hour wait at the airport and the 1 or 2 hour drive from the airport to the house.  For a one year old, it’s too much. My cousin took her son on a half hour airplane ride when he was 1 1/2 years old.  But that’s only 1/2 hour plane ride. 

When did you bring your baby on his/her first airplane ride?  Do you ever get worried about recirculated air on the plane?  And what about the cabin pressure?
