When you have to travel between two places that are far apart, choosing an airplane as a means of transportation is understandable. But if you have a baby with you, especially a newborn, there can be many problems that make you worry. However, if you know what to do and what to prepare, your flight with your baby will be smoother.

Your doctor may advise against unnecessary air travel soon after birth. Newborns are developing immune systems, so air travel can increase the risk of catching an infectious disease.
