Hello. Than you for your question. Congratulations on the baby. Babies feek the same ear pressure we do on airplanes. It is often (but not always), very uncomfortable for them. One way to make it easier is to give the baby a bottle during takeoff and another during landing. These are the two most common times pressure is felt in the ears. The act of swallowing will help decrease the pressure and reduce the risk of the baby feeling uncomfortable.
