Travelling was not a nightmare
after all.
)
Thought I'd let you know that my husband and I successfully flew to Ireland last week with Ethan. THe whole experience of travelling was fine - no problems with security at T1 Heathrow. Ethan was asleep when we went through security and they didn't even make us take him out of the car seat which was attached to the pram.
We were able to feed Ethan before the flight and the airline were briliant. We boarded first and they took the pram at the gate and had it readfy for us on the other side.
All in all - a happy mummy, daddy and baby.
Only thing we noticed is that security teams do different things at different airports. On the way back, we had to take Ethan out of the car seat.
On the downside - we took a serious amount of stuff for two days and going for any longer would have been a real problem. Also if I was travelling on my own with Ethan, I'd struggle with the luggage and baby.

Its amazing how much stuff a baby needs!!!! If you are planning on travelling alone with Ethan, I recommend getting a baby carrier (although they won't let you through security with baby in it normally) as it means you can wander around the airport without your arms feeling like they are going to drop off (Dylan is extremely heavy and is like a dead weight if I have to carry him for more than 5 minutes!!!) I got my carrier from a lady on here, who makes them herself (website is: mooboobaby) and its fab!!! x
