Traveling

[bumpinbaby1995]

How long do you have to wait for a newborn to be able to travel ? I'm due next week June and I want to get on a plane to visit family with the baby in August .

Is that too early for her to fly ?,

To be honest it depent on how far the travel is. If its just 2 hours should be fine but if its more like 5+ you should be carefull becz of the high pressure during the flight. A tips give the baby breast or the dumy when ur flight is going of. That will help the babies ear not to block so they wont cry of the pressure. And it also depends on if ur baby is healthy. U baby will be around 2 months in august so she/he will be better in sense of loungs, breathing etc.
Not all vaccination is actually good for the baby eventhought the docs and nurses are hyping it up.had many friend travling to afrika, asia when their babies hase been only few month with no vacc. Just be carefull what U eat and wash ur hands often. And boil the water if U wanna give baby a litle water or just full breastfeed.

You don't need the vaccines period but especially not to travel.   I have friends who have done it as soon as 3 weeks, I would probably try to wait until 6 weeks just to make sure our breastfeeding relationship and bonding relationship is secure before introducing others.  I would suggest getting a moby or something similar and wearing baby and keeping them close.  Breastfeeding also will help with their immune system also.

As long as your baby has had the first round of vaccinations, you should be fine. Nursing during take off helps prevent baby's ears from popping.
