How long do you wait to take your newbie on a plane?

You don't have to wait- depending on how comfortable you want to be. There is"recovery" period... especially if you have a c-section. With c-sections you are not suppose to drive for 6 weeks (because of the muscles you use to lift your foot from the pedal to the break).
Talk with your doctor- but there is no wait time. My husband, baby and I went on a 4 hour plane ride when the baby was 4 1/2 months old. Have fun!

I took my baby on a plane when she was only about 3 weeks old. I would of have preferred to wait a little longer but it was an emergency. Just make sure you are well prepared.

well babies in general should be kept away from malls, crowded airports, things like that for at least 2 months.. remember their immune systems arent like ours...so they can get ill fairly quickly...so i would wait till like ne where around 4-5 months...my son first traveled in a airplane at 10 months...

when you think you and your baby are ready, best to speak to health advisor first though, just to be on the safe side, good luck !! :)
