What to pay attention to when babies fly on airplanes

Patient's question:

The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. What are the things to pay attention to when flying with an infant?

Doctor's answer:

For babies, it is very important to protect their eardrums during the flight, as their eardrums are thinner than those of adults and can withstand much less pressure. Remember to never let the baby sleep during takeoff and landing, as the likelihood of eardrum injury increases significantly during sleep. Therefore, it is essential to wake the child from their sleep.
The international standard weight for a 3-year-old male baby is around 13.9 kilograms, and the height is about 95.0 centimeters. This standard is just a piece of data, and in reality, as long as the baby's height and weight are within the normal range, they are healthy.
