Airline restrictions and cutbacks can make traveling with baby a pain. Try these tips for a smoother ride, straight from real moms on thenestbaby.com.

FLIGHT FRUSTRATION: Liquid limitations

MOM FIX: "TSA allows milk, formula and juice. If you need more than one or two bottles, carry empty bottles and fill on the other side. Airport bars will fill your bottles with water for free." -- mags2041

FLIGHT FRUSTRATION: Baggage restrictions

MOM FIX: "We ordered the diapers, wipes and formula to be delivered to our destination. That saved a ton of space." -- mrs.peggyhill

FLIGHT FRUSTRATION: Big delays

MOM FIX: "Always make sure you have extra supplies: clothes for you and baby, diapers and wipes, small toys/books, etc." -- sirena1124

FLIGHT FRUSTRATION: Expensive airplane food

MOM FIX: "I bring granola bars, animal crackers, Fig Newtons, Goldfish -- stuff we both can eat." -- usvibound

FLIGHT FRUSTRATION: Security checkpoint madness

MOM FIX: "The best thing for us was to keep our son in the stroller until the last minute. I then walked through with him and put him right in the stroller before picking up our other things." -- kristabelle22581

FLIGHT FRUSTRATION: Crowded planes

Mom Fix: "You don't HAVE to board early. Remember that it takes 30-plus minutes for everyone else to board, and all of that is just extra time your child will be spending in a cramped seat getting antsy." -- Nest Lori
