travel question

I think this has been asked before, but I don't remember the outcome.  Does anyone know how soon a new baby can travel by plane and how soon a new mom can travel on a vacation, if she takes it easy?  Is 2 weeks too soon?

I would ask your pediatrician.  I can't imagine that it would be good to take a 2 wk old on a plane particularly w/ the changes in pressure.  The mom is not as big of a concern in my opinion if she is feeling up to it and has recovered from the delivery.  Personally i would wait a bit longer but that's just me.  Good luck!

Thanks so much!  I for sure don't want my baby to get germs or anything.  A plane is going to be out of the question that early.

And the pressure too....  I don't want the baby to be in ear pain or anything else.
