A member asked:

My wife and i are pregnant she is due july 15. i am in a wedding auguest 10. is it ok to fly w baby from ca to puerto rico with a one month any risks

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, but: My experience finds most travel well at that age & sleep for most of the flights. However, the first 2 months is a worrisome period for infection where any fever could reflect germs acquired at birth & could mean blood poisoning, meningitis or other serious problem. Most are hospitalized & placed on IV antibiotics until the cause is clarified. If you go it is important to avoid germ exposures.
