When is a newborn safe to travel?
The first month of life is the most vulnerable time of a child's life. Parents need to be extra cautious during this period and travelling is not advised if at all possible. Parents are also advised not to expose their newborn baby during the first month of life, to large crowds such as occur in shopping malls, large functions and to family members who have coughs and colds. Travel from the second month of life would be more sensible.
