Airplanes are probably the
n.ist stressful vehicle for the
fanily vyithqn infant. Changes in
caiip pressure can help start an
ear infectipn that shows up a
couple of days after the flight. A
drop in cabin pressure tends to
push mucus from the back of the
baby's nose into the tube leading
to the middle ear, and this
blockage can become infected.
Nursing an infant during take-
off and landing is one precaution
that can help prevent ear infec-
tions. The sucking movement
helps keep' the middle ear open,
much the way chewing gum does
for an adult-
' Check with your physician who
may suggest protecting the child
by giving a combination antihi-
stamine and decongestant, which

secretions and help keep air
passages open.
Infants should not be buckled
inside a seat belt on an airplane,
but held in an adult’s lap for
takeoff and landing; the child can
rest in a portable crib during the
flight.
Automobile traveling with yo-
ung children need not be diffi-
cult, but it can be hazardous.
Children of all ages risk injury if
they’re not properly restrained.
They should ride in the back seat.
The type of harness deigned fc-
children is safer than a lap belt
and allows more freedom of
movement.
According to Texas law, young
children and infants must be
strapped into a car seat that is
securely belted to the seat of the
automobile. This safety measure
also may make the ride more
pleasant, because children react
to car travel. Babies are likely to
react unfavorably to the stuffy air
that can result from automobile
air conditioning systems that
recirculate air. Try to keep at
least some fresh air coming in at
all times.
If you are traveling with
children who are on medication,
remember to pack an adequate
supply. And if your children are
likely to need medical attention
while traveling, ask your physi-
cian to suggest where you can
find a physician.
