When can babies be taken on planes?

This is the Ideal Age for Babies to Get on a Airplane

Traveling by plane is safe when the baby is in good health. Some doctors recommend waiting until the baby is 4-6 weeks old. However, some airlines have allowed babies to air travel since the age of 2 days.

If your little one is born prematurely, don't be in a hurry to take him traveling by plane, yes, Bun. Premature newborns may take air travel at least 1-2 weeks after the expected date of birth, not the date they were born.

Basically, babies have imperfect immunity, so they are very susceptible to disease. Plus, Little also may not have had time to get all the vaccinations.

The aircraft has closed air circulation. This is feared to increase the risk of infection in infants, especially if there are other people who are sick on the plane. In addition, changes in air pressure when the plane is at a certain height can also make a baby's ear hurt and make a baby cranky, or even difficulty breathing.

Before taking your child on the plane, Mother is also advised to check his health condition to the doctor first. Some airlines even require parents to include a doctor's letter stating that the baby is in good health for air travel.

Tips for Carrying a Baby on a Airplane

So that Mother and Little One can enjoy the flight ride comfortably, do the following tips:

  • Choose a flight schedule that is comfortable for your little one, that is, according to their sleeping hours. That way, Little One can sleep peacefully in the plane.
  • Book an extra seat for the baby, especially if your baby is big enough.
  • Wear comfortable clothes for your little one and cover him during the trip if the temperature of the plane is cold enough.
  • Put your Little One's equipment in one bag, such as a change of clothes, diapers, wet and dry tissue, blankets or treats, baby pacifiers, and medicines to make it easier for Mother to look for her. Take the bag with Mother into the aircraft cabin.
  • Carry and bring your Little One to walk along the aisle of the aircraft when the seat belt can be removed and circumstances allow.
  • Feed the Little One or give snacks when taking off or landing, so that the Little One's ears do not hurt due to changes in air pressure in the plane.

While in the plane, holding your child will make it easy for Mother to calm or invite him to play. In addition, the Mother can also save the cost of one aircraft seat.

However, holding your little one on the air is not recommended. This can be dangerous in the event of turbulence or an emergency landing which will make the Little One free from his lap. So, you should order one more seat for your Little Car Seat, but first make sure the airline policy regarding this.
