When is too young?

Do you think travelling with a 2 month old is too young? Me and the father are long distance but he really wants to meet his baby but he can’t come due to work shift patterns. The flight will be 9 hours.

Easter chocolate for 14month old

We don't give our 14month old chocolate normally however at easter would like to give her a little taste. She only has 6 teeth currently. She has CMPA. What chocolate egg/chocolate would you recommend that's not too hard for her. We have asked relatives to get her books but we felt a little taste might be nice for her.
