Let Me Tell You A Story...

...about a baby boy named Dane. Dane's parents decided to take him on a trip when he was 3 months old to LA to visit his friend Finley and her parents. On the way there, Dane decided to take the biggest poo of his young life. Of course, the plane didn't have a changing table in the bathroom and it was all up his back. So his mom asked the flight attendant where she could change him. The only option was in the very back of the plane where the flight attendants store their carts right next to the door where it's very LOUD and very COLD. Let me tell you - baby boy wasn't happy at all with the changing facilities and he let his mom know it! Aside from that situation, Dane didn't make a peep on the flight out to LA! Apparently vacationing screws up Dane's regular patterns and he didn't poo again until the flight home on Monday! Once again, he blew out of his diaper...thankfully this plane had a changing table in the bathroom. UNBELIEVABLE! And all this from a baby who had only blown out one other time...guess the pressure on the plane didn't work with his little body! Aside from that, Dane was a great flyer! He truly didn't make a peep on the way to LA, except for in the cold, loud back of the plane. He was a bit fussy when we were descending into Chicago, but it didn't last long and it was more whiny than actually crying. Several women commented on how great he did on the flight when we were deboarding and the flight attendants loved him!

Anyway...thought you might get a kick out of this story. Pictures and trip details to come soon!

Ha! That's hysterical! We had a similar story on our way to FL this winter. I can't remember anything else about the flight. At least you were nice enough to go to the back. :) Wish I could have been a fly on the wall...

Why do they always blow out on the plane. When Ava was 4 months we had a similar experience. I ended up changing her across the seat because the guy next to me got up and moved. We went through two outfits on that flight. Thank goodness I brought baggies. It was bad!
Glad the flight was otherwise good for you guys.
