Yes you can travel . But it’s is better to avoid till 14weeks.After 14weeks major vaccination is done so it’s safe after that .
Next Steps
Try to protect baby’s ear by application of ear muffs or cotton .

Air travel is generally fine for a healthy, full-term one-month-old on a short flight like this.
Next Steps
Feed your baby during takeoff and landing to ease ear pressure, and keep them away from crowded, poorly ventilated areas at the airport.

Yes, air travel is generally safe for a healthy, full-term one-month-old infant.Their immune system is still developing, so protect them from crowded terminal spaces.Feed the baby during takeoff and landing to relieve cabin pressure on their ears.Ensure you carry the original birth certificate or hospital discharge card for airline verification.
