How soon after my baby is born can we travel?

For the first 3 months, you don't want to go anywhere with your newborn except straight home. They require almost nonstop attention, feedings, diaper changes, and the risk of infection from a stranger is too great. By age 3 months or so, babies are pretty good candidates for travel, as long as the trip's fairly mellow. Infants aren't as fragile as parents sometimes fear.
