A Guide to Breast Feeding on Air Planes

If you’re traveling with an infant who you’re still nursing, breastfeeding is a gift from the gods…literally! There are no bottles to remove from cumbersome, bags, no precarious balancing of bottle, baby and formula, and no need to sterilize bottles or ask the snooty stewardess to warm your pre boiled water for you. Breastfeeding is completely safe, extremely convenient and doesn’t take any space in your carry on luggage!

Having said that, be aware that not all passengers will be comfortable with the thought of a mother nursing in such close proximity to them.

For some reason, people are accepting of breast feeding if the mother is question isn’t sitting very close to them, or is discreet about it. But on a plane where passengers are all packed together in a tight space for a few hours, the sight of a nursing mother has even led to controversy. Last year, a mother was asked to get off a plane after she refused the stewardess’ request to “cover up.†As a mother, you shouldn’t be apologetic about nursing in public, and you are under no obligation to use a blanket to cover your baby while you do. As any mother who’s ever used another piece of cloth to cover up her nursing baby knows, holding a cover over your baby when he’s nursing only works when the baby is a couple of months old. Once they get a little older and more curious, they want to not just nurse, but have a look at everything else that’s happening around them as well! Difficult to do if they are being blocked by a blanket.

Consider asking for a window seat and using the blanket not to cover your breast, but to create a screen between you and other passengers by attaching it to your seat and the seat in front with pins.

If that sounds like too much trouble, ensure that you’re dressed for nursing. Wear a loose tee and a bra with extendable straps, so all you have to do while nursing is pull the top up and the bra down. Avoid tight tops and bras that require you to expose the entire length of your side, your stomach and a considerable portion of your breasts.

Always make sure you ask for your window seat, or ask passengers to trade. If the plane isn’t full, ask the crew to keep the seats around you empty – this is easy if you’re traveling during off season.

If you have a co passenger, let him know right at the beginning that you will be nursing during the flight – it gives him time to look for another seat if he’s uncomfortable.

What is Air Force One? Is it any plane or just an Air Force plane that the president is on?

I know it's a plane the president is on but is it any plane out there? For example, if he was on some guy's Cessna, would that plane be conisdered Air Force One?

A few weeks ago I answered a question about whether or not Air Force One was armed. The following answer addresses that question as well as giving some other information you might find interesting. In referrence to the Cessna question, I could make a case for calling it Cessna One or perhaps Private Presidential Air One. Anyway, enjoy the read, I had fun calling back some very old memories.

No, the United States Air Force Boeing 747 normally associated with the call sign Air Force One is not equipped with offensive weapons. It does have a lot of defensive goodies on it and, of course, those little jets that fly along side are armed to the teeth.

I am going to split hairs with a couple of the other answers, not because they are wrong, but because I can add some detail.

Air Force One is any US Air Force aircraft while, and only while the President is on board the aircraft.

The same holds true for other branches of our military. The President routinely flies on Marine One. Typically this would be the helicopter used to shuttle him on shorter trips, but if he were flying in any Marine aircraft it would be Marine One.

The same for the Navy, Army, or the Coast Guard.

For example, when President Bush landed on the Aircraft Carrier he was in a Naval aircraft and it's designation would have been Navy One.

One more tid-bit. When President Nixon resigned the office his resignation was effective at noon eastern time. He left Andrews AFB in Air Force One. It was Air Force One at that moment because his resignation had not taken effect. Somewhere, I think it was over Kansas, the Air Force C-135 carrying the former President changed it's call sign from Air Force One to, I think, Air Force 26000. I would hate to be quoted on that number as I am working from memory.

I have already told you a great deal more than you may have wanted to know but let me add one final sentence. Everything I said about the aircraft designation "Air Force One" holds true for the designation Air Force, Marine, Navy, Army, or Coast Guard Two when the aircraft is carrying the Vice President.
