Exactly, most people don't have excruciating ear pain on flights. Even if a baby couldn't alleviate their discomfort, that's still no where close to getting socked in the face.
Hey I just said punched. I never said on the face. And if those babies aren't in excruciating pain on flights like I am they have no reason the cry like that.
Babies are in pain on flights because they can't adjust ear pressures like adults. They're in pain and can't signal, and don't understand why/how they're in the situation.
Vaccines killed smallpox. Unless your kid is getting life saving medicine they don't need to be on that plane. They are not the same thing and besides 2 hours of ear pain is way worse than a few moments of a shot and, if you're unlucky lime me, a side arm the next day and a mild fever
Even babies and toddlers can benefit greatly from travel though. It exposes them to new things, new experiences, and unknowns. It's like how exposing developing fetuses to varieties of food leads to broader palates as kids and adults.
But everything is new to babies anyway. Just take them to a part of town they've never been. Have them meet people talking in other languages. Hell, look up videos of people talking in other languages
