Jaunted's Kiddie Traveler Series: What About Perks for Babies?

Infants shouldn't be left out of the airline services. Okay, really it's the parents of infants who could use some extras. Cathay Pacific goes all out for baby with a kit of diapers, wipes, lotions, baby food and juices. To further lend parents a hand, each CP aircraft has at least two bathrooms with fold-down tables for changing diapers.

While not all airlines give out free baby food, it's important to know which amenities they do have, in case your baby has a stinky situation.
