9 Tips That Will Make Tot Travel Shockingly Easy

Nervous about traveling with your new infant? Take the edge off with some simple ideas to help your trip go as smoothly as possible. From choosing the right flight to what to pack for a plane ride, there are many ways to prepare for a good trip.

Traveling with an infant can be a stressful experience. It is intimidating to imagine the looks other passengers might give you when your little one cries or fusses. While there is no guarantee that traveling with a baby will be easy, there are many steps a parent can take to ensure smoother travels. Having a plan ahead of time is a great way to build confidence when traveling with an infant. Below is a list of ways you can prepare for the most successful trip with your little one.

Flight timing

Try to schedule your flight according to your baby's sleep pattern. Babies often sleep during travel, and choosing an early morning or late evening flight might allow baby to nap for the duration of the flight. Also, when choosing your flight, try to avoid layovers as much as possible.

Seating

Decide if you want to have your baby on your lap or if you want to purchase an extra seat. Many airlines allow children under 1 year old to fly for free if the baby is on a parent's lap. If you do decide to travel with your baby on your lap, try to get bulkhead seating so you have more space for your feet. Other things to keep in mind when choosing a seat is proximity to restroom, window or aisle seat, and sitting near other mothers with babies for conversation and support.

Arrive early

Try to get to the airport as early as possible so you are not rushed or already stressed before your board the plane. This will give you time to change your baby's diaper if needed, eat a meal and be prepared in case of any unforeseen dilemmas.

Carry your baby in a pouch

There are many comfortable baby carriers available today that allow you to have both hands free while traveling. Wearing your baby in a carrier through the airport can make it easy to get from point A to point B. If you do not use a baby carrier, consider taking a stroller where your baby can sit comfortably while you are walking through the airport. Most airlines allow you to check the stroller at the gate when you are boarding the plane and will drop the stroller off at the gate when you exit the plane at your destination.

Pack smart

Make sure you have plenty of wipes, diapers and snacks for the flight or in case of a delay. Choose a bag that allows you to be as hands free and comfortable as possible (such as a backpack), with easy access to pockets. Try to pack only a few toys that you know your baby loves rather than an entire assortment. Remember that your bag will get heavy as you carry it around with you. Store snacks in airtight containers that do not take up much room.

Baby entertainment

If baby is awake, toys make for great distractions should he or she get fussy. Board books, development toys, hand puppets, and even smart phone apps or cartoons can help a baby enjoy traveling.

Ear popping

Many parents fear takeoff and landing as some babies experience discomfort in their ears. Nursing during this time can be a source of relief for babies experiencing discomfort. Remember to bring a nursing cover if you feel nervous about breastfeeding near a stranger. If you are not nursing, have a bottle or a pacifier ready to give your baby to relieve ear pressure during takeoff and landing.

Ask for help

If you need help, ask a flight attendant for assistance. In my experience, flight attendants and passengers have been extremely helpful and compassionate to me as I have traveled with my little one. Flight attendants are often happy to help you fill a bottle, reach for a bag, or provide you with extra water.

If you get dirty looks (and you will)

Remember, you are not alone. Besides, dirty looks never killed anyone. There are most likely other mothers and fathers traveling with their little ones. Take comfort in knowing that you are doing the best you can and the flight will not last forever. Smile back, start a conversation or make a light-hearted comment about how you hope the flight will go well. One of the ways I make light of the situation is to let people know as they sit near me, "Are you sure you want to commit?" They usually laugh and say they will be fine. I believe it communicates to them that I will do the best I can, but at the end of the day the way my baby reacts to the flight is out of my control. If all else fails, put in earplugs and turn your attention right back to your little one, who will be happy to receive the love and care you have to offer.

Theo And Beau - Too Much Cuteness

At first, Theo and Beau were just two new friends who liked to snuggle up together at naptime.

Before too long, though, the rescue puppy and his toddler brother were stars of the (very) small screen, with photos of their daily dream-sessions charming their mom'sInstagram followers. Then, they became a viral sensation here, there and everywhere -- and those Instagram photos went from collecting hundreds of likes to tens of thousands with fans anxiously awaiting new snaps. Now, they're bringing theirnaptime love story to the printed page.

Momma's Gone City blogger Jessica Shyba has signed a deal with Feiwel & Friends for two books featuring the duo. Bedtime for Theo and Beau, the first of the two volumes, is set to be published on February 4, 2015 -- and according to the publisher, the Santa Cruz SPCA, through which Shyba's family found Theo, will be involved with the project.

Jean Feiwel, senior vice president and director of the Macmillan Children's Publishing Group (of which Feiwel & Friends is an imprint), called the photos "irresistible."

But of course, if you are one of Shyba's 230,00 (and counting) fans, you already know that. And if you haven't been privy to the cuteness yet, please allow us the pleasure of introducing you with some of the latest scenes from @MommasGoneCity...

Pope Francis Takes a Stand on Public Breastfeeding and What He Says Will Definitely Surprise You

By: Kylie McConville

You can’t make this stuff up, y’all: Pope Francis supports public breastfeeding. In an interview with La Stompa, the Pope was asked about the state of hungry children in the world and he responded by saying (among other things) that breastfeeding mothers shouldn’t be ashamed to feed their babies when they’re hungry. (Three snaps for the Pope, you guys!)

He said, “At the Wednesday General Audience the other day there was a young mother behind one of the barriers with a baby that was just a few month s old. The child was crying its eyes out as I came past. The mother was caressing it. I said to her: Madam, I think the child’s hungry. ‘Yes, it’s probably time…’ she replied. ‘Please give it something to eat!’ I said. She was shy and didn’t want to breastfeed in public, while the Pope was passing. I wish to say the same to humanity: give people something to eat!”

When the Huffington Post reported the story, they spoke with Denene Milner, a Baptist and former breastfeeding mother. She said, “Honestly, I wish there was this level of deep thinking in my own Baptist church when my daughters were babies and I was breastfeeding,” she wrote. “On Sundays when I knew I’d be sitting in a church pew, I’d go out of my way to feed my daughters just before we walked in so that their bellies would be full for a good part of the service, and then I’d be all anxious when they’d start fidgeting.”

Not only is the Pope Time magazine’s Person of the Year, but it’s clear that the Pope is restoring the Church to a go-with-the-flow type of Catholicism that aims to include — not exclude — everyone. And to prove just how little he’s bothered by breastfeeding, take a look at this shot taken last March, while he was in Buenos Aires:
