If you're not sure what you want, then hold back from making plans or responding to invitations until you have a chance to think about it.

For some people, the better route for finding like-minded parents is just to get out of your house with your baby and frequent baby-friendly places.

Make sure you have legal cover for what you're doing.

I realize that people fly with small children all the time, and that babies are easier in some ways because all they do is sit/lie around anyway, but damn it's hard to keep a baby comfortable on any flight, much less a long one, particularly amid the looks of horror they will get from fellow passengers as it dawns on them that their 10- to 13-hour flight might come with a soundtrack of screaming baby.

If you're not sure what you want, then hold back from making plans or responding to invitations until you have a chance to think about it.

People who make babies surrender their right to behave like them.

Bodies and minds need breaks or the work suffers, this has been proven and reproven to the point where we don't even need to post links to support it.
