Thanks for posting in health care magic.

Your 1.5 month baby girl can go for 1 hour flight with no problems.

Just keep the following in mind
1. Cover your baby well with cap gloves and socks to keep her warm. Use extra wrapping if baby feels cold.

2. During flight feed your baby frequently.

3. Keep the AC vent closed over the baby.

4.keep syp ondem, if vomiting occurs give 1 ml.

5. Use nasoclear nasal drop after every 30mins during flight if the baby has any cold or coryza.

Thank you.
