Yaaay, your first family holiday with your baby! Travelling with a baby is a whole new experience, and it can be pretty daunting, but we are here to help! With the right preparation you can limit the turbulence of your first flight with baby. We have summarised the most commonly asked questions and answers to give you all the information you need for flying with a baby.
When can I fly with my baby for the first time?
It's probably sooner than you think. According to Baby Center, most airlines will insist that your baby is at least two weeks old but depending where you live and where you are flying to there are no standard regulations, so it's best to check with your airline before you book. Some airlines may ask you to provide a fit-to-fly letter from your doctor if your baby is less than two weeks old.
If you gave birth by caesarean section, you may need to wait until after your six-week postnatal check-up before you take to the skies. Even then, you should only fly when your GP gives

“When can baby sleep in their own room” is a question baby and child sleep specialist Gemma Coe hears often. Today she’s sharing her expertise on moving your little love into their own room.
Some parents are eager to have their room back to themselves and others not so much! It’s a big step – for you and for them – and while it might feel like a practical change, it also raises important questions about sleep safety, emotional readiness, and what’s actually right for your family. So here’s what you need to know…
What the safe sleep guidance says about when baby can sleep in their own room
The Lullaby Trust and NHS recommend that babies sleep in the same room as their parents for at least the first six months. This is based on evidence that room-sharing reduces the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Some families choose to room-share for longer, which is also completely fine – it’s about balancing safety, sleep quality, and emotional readiness.

If you are currently deciding what you want for your birth or simply want to find out more about the different types of birth, then you've come to the right place. Because today we’re sharing everything you need to know about caesarean sections (also called a C-sections or abdominal birth), especially compared to a vaginal birth. Particularly looking at the pros and cons of each path to help you decide whether a vaginal birth or c-section is right for you and your baby.
What is a caesarean section?
So what’s the difference technically speaking? A vaginal birth is when a baby is born through the vagina. Labour may begin spontaneously and continue until the baby is born, but in some cases labour needs to be started by induction. In comparison, a caesarean section, or C-section, is an operation to deliver your baby through a cut made in your tummy and womb. Here’s a brief summary of the differences between the two, with more detail later on.
