In December I will be travelling by plane from Heathrow to Dublin with a toddler, a babe in arms, and a month's luggage.

Ulp.

I'm worried about a few things, most of which I can probably find out by calling the airline the week before we leave, but I'm worried now, so there you go.

1: Buggy. Will I be allowed to take it through security or will I have to check it in with the bags?

2: Bags. Will Linnea and Emer be entitled to a carry-on bag each? Linnea ought to be since she's paying for a seat. I'd love to have my carry-on (food and toys), Linnea's carry-on (nappy bag) and Emer's carry-on (no idea, probably won't be necessary). Also, I know it's one bag per person, but will they care if I put my handbag *in* the rest of the carry-on when they're checking and then take it out and keep it where I want it while faffing about in the airport?

3: Clothes. I assume jackets are allowed - what about a sling/baby carrier?I didn't think that would be a problem until I woke in the middle of the night worrying about it.

4: Going through security. Will they make Linnea and Emer go through ahead of me? They have in the past, and Linnea coped quite well, but I was fraught, and it would be worse with Emer. Simplest would be to wear her through in the sling, really, since that won't make anything beep.

5: Getting the baggage at the other end if I don't have the buggy. Is it physically possible or will I have to hunt someone down to help me?

6: Packing. Can someone send a pocket tardis?
