How old can a new born baby be before they can take a plane trip?

That depends: The question is one that is usually answered from doctor and parents value systems! what are the circumstances requiring the trip? How was the delivery for the mother? Any complications for the child? What is the rush to bring the child into the 'outer world'?

Depends on situation: During a stint in the military, i routeinly discharged newborns that traveled to the airport for a flight back to the us for their first month or two before returning to japan. They traveled better than most toddlers or older kids.Considerations such as infectious exposure in transit, risk at the destination ; availability of health care factor in. Live life but plan ahead to protect baby.
