is it illegal to travel on a plane with a 10month old baby that has just had an operation on her ear?
I don't think it is illegal but I would not recommend it if he just had an ear operation. Try posting in the Health forum, maybe they would know better? I just took our 6 month old on a flight against my in-laws wishes, but he was fine. Also, do you have a doctor you can ask?
What type of Operation?? If it is anything involving the inner ear or eardrum you definitely would NOT want to take the baby on a plane!! The pressure changes on an airplane can be very uncomfortable for a perfectly healthy baby. In a baby that has had some type of inner ear surgery there could be severe damage.
PLEASE contact the Doctor who did the surgery or your Pediatrician.
No is not illegal, they dont ask any health related question when you are traveling. My son gone on a plane at 4 months, 9 months, 14 months, and never been ask any question.

Please do NOT fly with a child who has had recent surgery without your doctor's full consent. It is just asking for trouble. I cannot imagine a more painful way for a baby to travel!!! And don't forget, once airborne, you will have no alternative but to sit and wait til landing. The poor child could be in agony due to pressure!
Illegal, probably not. Torturous for the baby, probably yes.
