plenty of feeds, keep yourself relaxed as he will sense your stressed and get agitiated, if you get any crying dont worry or stress babies do that from time to time!! remember they may cry during ascent & descent as they dont know how to clear there ears so a dummy or drink normally helps, also do remember some babies are quiet & some are noisy and you have as much right to be on that plane as anyone else! enjoy the experience and so will he! Ive been crew for 30+ years and can tell which babies will be noisy as they get on, its the ones with parents who are stressed out & demanding (we call them the first people in the world to have ever flown with a baby), just treat the flight same as how you did pre baby & 8 months is fine the youngest i've had on a flight was 14 days, if anything they tend to be worse around the terrible two's as they dont like being kept in the seat or on your lap.
