can baby handle a series of flights?

[mambo]

I will be flying overseas to Canada (~14-15hr flight) with my 5 month old. Near the end of my trip after a month and half, we will be flying a shorter flight (~3-4hrs) twice within a week, then stopover in Vancouver for a day and a half, prior to returning to HK(long haul). Is this too much flying for a 5 month old? Any experiences flying with a baby multiple times in a short period?? Thanks.

Hi

When Ally was 2 months old we flew HK/BKK, stayed for 2 nights then BKK/HK landing in the afternoon. We left that same night HK/JNB/CT (total 15-16hrs). She was fine and wasn't even too thorwn off with the time changes. I just made sure she was well hydrated on the flights and tried to keep her normal sleeping pattern.

Good luck, I am sure you will be fine.
