i have flown with all the major carriers. From san diego to tucson to detroit to chicago and never ONCE has anyone said anything to or about me. Most times the steward(ess) will ask, are you going to nurse or give her something during takeoff? And thats about all. Also, it might help to find out where the airline you are flying with's corporate office is and print up that law.

I've flown Frontier before and last time I actually had a flight attendant that nursed her babies and said how great it was I was nursing. My thought is since they don't have a policy on it they can't say anything to you about it. Their stance is officially nutral, so their employees have to stay nutral as well.
Just mind your own business and they probably will too!

Oh, ha ha, I did have a problem with that once! I was wearing my GM nursing tank on a flight, and although it's the largest size it's a bit small for me, at least on my right side.

I was walking off the plane with DD in the Kozy, my diaper bag and carryon bag on my right shoulder, and this other passenger woman comes rushing up to me and is like, "Oh, let me help you here" and starts fussing with my clothes and suggesting that I put on a sweater and I realized that the bag and the kozy were sort of conspiring to drag the tank down and a significant part of my right breast was creeping out the top side of the tank! The whole thing was threatening to break free at any moment! It was not so elegant!

Don't worry about it, in my experience the flight attendants have never seemed to have thought twice about it and as far as I can tell, the other passengers can't even tell I am nursing- including the people I sit next to. |

Generally I wouldn't think twice about it. But with the way my luck's been lately (read crummy) I got a bit concerned today. I flew with older son and nursed on the planes w/no problems and I'm not really expecting a problem this time around (And quite honestly if there was, they'd end up being the ones with the problem once dh and I got through with them

). My reasoning was to try and be prepared and probably not need it than not be prepared and be kicking myself. Like you all said, I'm pretty positive that everything will be fine, assuming pee wee wants to nurse at all. See, he pretty much only nurses lying down so thisis all probably a moot point anyway. Good thing it's 2 flights that are an hour and a half each. Thanks so much everyone!!!
The last time I flew was last May, and dd was 20 mos at the time. We just nursed and everyone was fine. The time before that I was flying out to SD (moving- Sept 04) and omg- people were so incredibly helpful. The flight attendants made her a "rattle" out of cups and snack mix, kept asking me if I needed anything, and I had other passengers helping me with all my carry-on luggage (had to have a lot from left over stuff). The only bad thing was with one way tickets and me carrying dd in a carrier I did get the "deluxe" security routine. Luckily dd was a champ and didn't get TOO peeved about me having to put her down in security, and the TSA lady was VERY nice and understanding, even allowing me to hold dd for most of the search. Yes, nursing was a bit crowded both times, but I was very matter of fact with the people I sat with and had no problems.

Just one thing- if your dc won't be nursing during takeoff/landing make sure you have something handy for them to suck on so their ears don't get messed up. I'm sure you already know that.. but jic you don't.
