Hi mummies, is it ok to bring an infant on board a plane? There was a recent case of infant death on plane, i'm concerned as i'm going to HK in October. My baby will be 7 mths by then. TIA!

It's perfectly safe to bring an infant on a plane. I read somewhere that the infant involved in that case was already ill prior to boarding the plane. My LO was 7-weeks old when she made her first plane trip from HK back to SG. You'll want to worry more about the logistics of flying with a baby than anything else. Ask for a bassinet if possible. Even if your baby doesn't want to lie in it, it makes for a great storage area. And have milk ready. Once the plane doors close, babies will howl because of the depressurization so something to suck on helps. If you're flying CX or SQ, the flight attendants are usually great with passengers flying with infants.
