Traveling during the holidays almost always feels stressful -- and adding a new baby to the mix can make even the shortest flight seem overwhleming. It's true, managing airport crowds, security, the luggage, a toddler and a baby -- while keeping your sanity -- is a lot to ask of a new mom (or any mom, really!).
