    Hi

    Don;t worry.

    I travelled with 45 days old baby...
    Flight take off and landing time babies will cry due to pain.

    Cover the ears and feed the baby.
    I did the BF during take off and landing.... NO PROBS AT ALL...

    This advice was given by a elderly staff of flight.

    You can consult and take the advice of your doctor and also an advice from airlines which you are planning to travel.

    I would advise you to talk to a doctor. It all depends on the baby. Generally you can travel with a month old baby. The only things you have to consider is vaccination schedule, feeding the baby during takeoff and landing ( its due the air pressure that babies cry ) so its better to feed them. I suggest you to get atleast 1 set of vaccinations before you travel. At such young age baby will be sleepy most of the time so you shld be request for a bassinet.
    If you are travelling alone, it will be tuf. as you will need rest after delivery too. If the baby is not used to feeding with a bottle by then , you will need to breastfeed at regular intervals.
    So take these things into consideration and plan.
