Hi! :) When I took my daughter on a 2-hr plane trip (dunno if that's long enough) for the 1st time when she's 3 mons old I just made sure to do/ bring the following: 1) she wears long sleeves, socks and a bonnet to be sure she stays warm, 2) feed her upon take off (we still bf that time) to prevent the pain in her ears bec of pressure as we all know 3) extra clothes, diapers, wipes and towels inside my hand carry which I made sure is put within reach 4) a small toy she can play with when she's awake and help her not to get distracted with anything that's going on in the trip, and 5) the best thing of all - MY MOM (or perhaps your significant other) who can switch with me in carrying the baby and also assisted me upon check-in, carried my other bags etc. Hope this helps :)
