I recently had a child! I am itching to go away especially with the dirt cheap Miami flights. How quickly did you take your child on a plane? Obviously I would ask my doctor before I did anything, but just wondering if anyone brought really young kids on a plane with them?

The youngest I took one of my kids was 3 months

2 months.
My pediatrician wanted us to wait until the first set of vaccines were administered.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.
