@jezza I’m so so so sorry. If it makes you feel better, you are totally capable of flying with a baby by yourself! I’ve done it with my son a few times (even with a cat, a carryon, and a stroller in tow). Airports/airlines are pretty good about accommodating people with small children. For example, you can bring a stroller with you all the way to the gate and they’ll check it for free as long as it’s tagged. A stroller ended up being easier once my baby got heavier (and they offer extra space for purse, diaper bag, etc). If you prefer a carrier you strap to yourself, do that! Also, just remember that the majority of people on the airplane with you are probably parents and empathize with you more than anything. Don’t let social media lie to you - most people on planes won’t be an asshole about your kid. You got this!
