@drsermedmezher: “Babies Don’t Belong on Planes” #wait Traveling on a plane can be especially tough for babies, and when we hear them crying during a flight, it’s often not a reflection of their usual behavior. Several factors make flying challenging for infants. The changes in cabin pressure during takeoff and landing can cause discomfort or pain in their ears, as their Eustachian tubes—responsible for regulating ear pressure—are not fully developed yet. This discomfort can lead to crying, as it’s one of the few ways babies can communicate their distress. Additionally, the unfamiliar environment, loud noises, changes in routine, and even overstimulation from the busy surroundings can make babies feel unsettled or anxious. They’re not able to self-soothe as effectively as older children or adults, which makes it harder for them to adapt to the stressful environment of an airplane. When a baby cries on a plane, it’s often due to temporary discomfort or fear and doesn't reflect how calm or content they may usually be at home. Understanding this can help foster empathy and patience for both the baby and their parents during the flight. #babies #parenting #parents #dad
