A member asked:

Is it bad to take a new born onto a mountain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends. : When you get above 5000 feet or so, it takes extra work to breathe if you are not used to it. For a baby, this may cause more trouble with breathing, increased heart rate, and trouble with altitude sickness (vomiting, headache). If the mountain is lower than that, there shouldn't be much trouble. Check with your doctor.
