I'm not sure 6 hours counts as long haul in the context of needing supplies! If you are on a 20+ hour itinerary with multiple layovers and the potential for delays then you will have substantially more carry on items. Throw in needing to bring any medical supplies or bottles/formula for the baby and it's even worse.

Sure, I wasn't trying to imply that it did count as a long-haul; just giving my own point of reference/opinion.

I agree on all of your points. However, if there are other factors involed (as I stated, if my child was more difficult), I simply wouldn't travel. Maybe that's not a decision you can make, but I have.

My response was more for others reading - I agreed with everything you had written.

My experience has always been that most kids travel well especially if the parents have prepared.
