A 2 hour flight shouldn't be that bad for you or the baby... I took my little one on a 13 hour flight with a stopover after 8 hours....
Allow your baby to feed during take off and landing to ease ear pain/pressure or to suck on a soother/dummy if your baby has one.
Make sure the baby's nappy has been changed before getting on the flight and make sure you get an aisle seat to allow you to get up and down without climbing over or disturbing other passengers.
Make sure the baby's clothes are light clothing and take a blanket to wrap it in if it gets too cold, generally its a little cooler on aircraft.
Make sure you eat something before getting on the plane and then you don't have to try and juggle eating and the baby on the plane.
If the baby frets or cries, then as soon as it's safe to do so, head toward the back of the plane and walk up and down rocking the baby. Don't worry too much about other passengers, its only a 2 hour flight after all.
I hope you have a good trip!

Shouldn't be hard. I would change them before boarding the plane and than change the baby when you get off the plane so that they don't have to sit in soiled diaper. Make sure you feed him. Keep a pacifier in the baby's mouth. If you are allowed make sure to hold and rock the baby when you can. Luckily it is a 3 month old insead of 3 year old. The baby will most likely sleep the whole time.
Also talk to your pediatrician. The baby could get motion sickness or some affects from the high altitude. The doctor could recommend some rememdies for that.

One is take it slow and easy. If she gets hungry feed her. One is you want to feed her when you are taking off this will help the popping of the ears. and soothe the crying. 2 do not wait until she is wet to change her. Change her often to keep her entertained. I am a mother of 2 and have lived in Germany for 8 yrs military. We flew so much that my daughter now 11 and son now 18 are both seasoned flyers. If she does freak out or start to cry you can walk her up and down the aisle till she calms down if safe to do so. Not to worry about sitting in one place. You can always get up and down when flying overseas. Just make sure you feed during take off and landing to help the popping of the ears that is the most important thing.

First of all make sure all the basic needs are covered: food, clean, temperature and that she is not in any kind of discomfort...
One thing i learnt is that you should give them a bottle to suck just before the plane takes off, this is to avoid that horrible ear pain.
Take couple of little toys and Obviously if you can put him to sleep THE BEST. Remember that a well fed and relaxed baby will sleep better!

breast feed or just feed during take off and landing to keep their eyes from hurting and possibly put them to sleep. play with them if they wake during the flight and hope the surrounding passengers have the patience and sence of humor to endure any outburst.
Two hours is easy. Try 15 hours trans-pacific with a 11 month old and a two year old.

you can't make a three month old baby do any-think they dont understand, make sure the child drinks when you are taking off in the plane because this stops the baby from having painfull ear problems, and when landing try to keep the baby awake untill you have taken off. good luck

First, you shouldnt be looking for him/her to behave because infants don't misbehave, what you are looking for is for you baby to be comfortable and content. If your baby isnt going to be sleeping then the most simplist thing to do is to get a few small inexpensive toys that he/she hasnt seen before and only intoduce them when your baby is getting agitated. Infants are facinated with almost anything so this should work.

keep food at hand. whenever your baby starts to fidget and whine, place something a little sweet on their tongue (not hard candy but maybe a soft piece of small chocolate that will melt very fast) and that will keep them busey. maybe some koolaide in a bottle, that is also sweet. keep toys at hand. at that age babies dont care too much about what is around them, but let them touch your keys (making noise) bring a soft blanket or animal-its comfort the child may want and the softness is snuggable.

try to schedule the flight during the baby's naptime. I have also heard of parents, knowing that their child will be fussy, giving the baby cold medicine which makes it sleepy, but I don't recommend this! Ask your pediatrician!
