Hello
It is advisable to not fly with babies of less than 8 months old. However if the fly is urgent,
Taking off and landing may be a discomfort for the baby. Kindly breastfeed the baby during taking off and landing as the sucking movements of the baby will keep ear tubes open.
Also travel with medications for cough, cold and fever for your baby. Keep Syp sinarest , calpol and Ascoril Handy
