I returned last week with a 6mth old. We departed at 6pm and arrived home approx 9.40pm, both ways. I put her pjs on just before we boarded and gave her some panadol (suppose to help if their ears hurt). I gave her night time bottle on the plane and I was lucky enough to have her sleep most of the flight. I made sure she had one of her light muslin blankets and favourite teddy. We also flew Virgin Blue for the first time (usually Garuda) they don't have bassinettes but do have a change table which I didn't happen to use. They tend to put all the babies and kids down the end of the plane near the change table & toilets which I wasn't too keen on at first but I can understand why and it wasn't an issue. The hostesses were lovely and said just to ask if I needed help. Have fun! We are doing it all again in 13 weeks :-)
