Episode 38
This comes up a lot.
Parents wonder about flying with babies/kids for a number of reasons:
-infectious risk
-changes in air pressure on premature lungs
-what about kids with asthma or lung disease or recent illness and flying?
Flying is about the same as being at 5000-8000 feet so the same questions can be asked about traveling to an location at elevation like Salt Lake City or Denver.
With the holidays coming up, we wanted to talk about this common parent question!
