Any tips for taking 2 yr old on long flight? i'm worried about the pressure affecting her ears. she doesn't take pacifier / bottle
A doctor has provided 1 answer
.: Most airplanes are pressurized. But the change in pressure during take off and landing may cause pain and distress. Try to give something to suck on like a pacifier or lollipop just during takeoff and landing. You can also give some snacks to chew on. This also could help keep tube open. Be extra careful about the possibility of aspiration too.
