I thought she was coming on the house hunting trip before that, though?
Anyway, I think you are right about flying immediately afterward. We waited 3 months before flying the baby (which was the doctor's advice).

i gotta read more closely..ur right....i read on another post that 35 weeks is the cutoff...

All our doctors and the airlines themselves said that 7 days after baby is born is fine to fly. Unless you had a c-section or a baby over 4kg and that is only for the mother not because there is any danger to flying for the baby...also there isn't a airline that will fly you internationally if you are over 35 weeks pregnant, domestically is fine to 38 weeks.

I'd be hesitant to fly with an 8 day old. Even adults become sick after those long-haul flights and stale air.

Well, that leaves the door open to all sorts of possible airline jokes.
