Brief Answer:
Yes, it will be fine
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concerns but don't worry. You can easily travel with baby older than 15 days if the baby doesn't suffer from any major illness.
Only care you need to take is that ensure feeding the baby while take off and landing to avoid earache associated with atmospheric pressure difference.
Hopefully it will be of help.
Take care
