i flew with my 4 month year old from London to NYC and back. It's hard and make sure you've got plenty of entertainment - toys, books, blankets, change of clothing, diapers, wipes etc.... I was nursing then too, but the milk flow is not the same on the airplane due the pressure. My son had difficulty with it so fortunately, he is also bottle fed and found that to be the most effective. Make sure you've got an arsenal of soothers for your baby to suck on at take-off and landing and throughout the trip. Are you flying economy or business? Definitely keep things light. Everyone understands around you (even if they glare at you while you walk down the aisle.) Once we landed it was like - FREEEDOM and I was ever so happen to see my mom waiting at the exit. good luck!
