Traveling with 10 day infant by Rail/Air
We are in a position where we have to travel with a newborn infant which is 10 days old. I would like to ask the pediatrician's which mode of transportation would you prefer. We have these options Road/Railway/Flight to my home town Hubli from Bangalore. We are thinking of either rail / flight. If we go by Rail it would be 8 hours journey and by flight it would be 1.5 hours journey. I don't know whether the air pressure would affect the infant.Please suggest

Yes u can travel by air also along with air
Only thing sometimes it becomes difficult to adust pressure while take off but need to adjust pressure by sucking and better to give pacifier and I hope u didn't start bottle feed
And slightly chances of infection as crowded places for child because of less immunity
Next Steps
your choice both rail and air travel are fine
