Feed the baby during take off as well as landing.That will take care of air pressure.Keep your baby in comfortable clothing and warm. You can also take a pacifier but take care of hygiene.

Yes, you can travel by air with ur baby. Be cautious while taking off or landing. Feeding induces swallowing effect which nulls pressure changes in the internal ear.

Next Steps

You should feed your baby while flight is taking off and landing.

Health Tips

You can also try covering the ear with your hand while flight is landing or taking off.
