I’m pleased to publish this contribution from Jennifer Taylor. I’ve been fortunate in managing to avoid a layover with baby in almost all of our flights, thanks to choosing destinations carefully and living in a city with an international airport!
Jennifer is a mom of two who recently spent 6 hours in Detroit Metro Airport with a three-year-old and and eight-month-old, and just returned from Palermo!

However, if you absolutely can’t avoid a layover, you can at least make it easier on you and your child!
The best way to do so is with proper planning. Here is my advice for surviving a long layover with baby in tow.
These are models. You will likely not be so cheerful
