Should be avoided till atleast 6 months of age.
However if it is compulsory then no option but to go forward.
-Keep the baby warm and covered
-Keep the head covered by a cap or scaf, especially the ears
-Maintain respiratory hygiene like mask and social distancing
-Avoid handling of baby by others
-Hand washing before handling the baby
-No feeds during ascend or descend
-Feed the child 30 min before and 30 min after the flight.
Avoid future travels preferably
