This Friday the three of us are flying to Seattle so Ella can meet her Great Grandpa, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. I am looking for any advice on flying with a six weeks old baby. Anyone? I am sure she will be a little angle, but a little wisdom never hurt anyone.
Saying Ella does not enjoy bath time is a little bit of an understatement. We have a very nice, blue baby bathtub that goes over the sink (thank you Ashley). It seems very traumatizing. I thought for sure she would just relax and start cooing but no all she does is scream, pee on us and cry for the entire production.....poor little thing. Again, anyone?

Baby sling for traveling and give it time for the bath:)Do you have the mesh holder (she sits in it) for the tub to keep her more comfortable? If not I can look for mine to lend you!

um...yeah, the boob. God's gift to crying babies. Not a sound will be made.
Jacob held Maggie in the shower and I scrubbed her from outside. Great skin-to-skin time for him and she was fine.
No great flight info other than Marshall's. We have made at least 12 round trips to Boise so far and none have been traumatic. The BEST news is that it's a short flight so if things do go pear-shaped, no need to go too self-conscious.
Just ran across this:

Even if you don't like her tips, she's a fun blogger.
hey, at least Ella still looks cute even when she's screaming :) although I guess she probably doesn't sound so cute...
