anything to take note of bringing a infant overseas on a long journey? be it by car or by plane.. thanks in advance.

Here are some handy tips for when travelling with an infant on a plane: #1 If possible, have a designated seat for the baby. This is especially important if he’s older than six months old. If you can, take his car seat (and this is particularly important if you don’t have a bassinet). Confirm in advance with the airline, however, that the airline’s economy seat can accommodate your car seat. A lot of economy seats are narrower than baby pods. #2 Pack pyjamas and any toys your baby sleeps with in your hand luggage. Logic suggests that it’ll help him sleep better if you adhere to his normal bedtime routine as closely as possible. #3 Pack a light blanket to lie over the top of the bassinet to shield him from ambient light (flickering TV screens, etc). #4 If you’re breastfeeding, make sure you drink lots of water during the flight. Drink even more than you think you need. #5 During layovers, help the baby burn energy if he is awake. Let him move and stand and crawl. Hope this helps and happy travels!
