If direct breast feed is not possible then feed with bottle or just give pacifier to ur baby

As per AAP guidelines, it is safe for a healthy newborn to take for flight after 7days of life. Ask the airline that you want to carry feeding liquid for the baby if you are not breast feeding. Plan for feeding the baby during takeoff and landing. This is when your baby will experience the most ear pressure and feeding would relieve the pain. For more details do consult.
