I was wondering how old my baby needs to be before she can go on a plane in Australia?
My baby is due 28 November and we would like to go to Queensland for Christmas break. I'm guessing bub would be about a month old...
If anyone knows that would be great thanks
Thankyou everyone
Answer
It will be fine, but different carriers may different requirements in how the baby carried an in what.
As they only have lap belts you may be allowed to carry the baby, or may have to be placed in a acceptable seat. ( I am aware of the age) In an accident it can become a lethal bullet, just as the way as in a car.
Here in a car a child has to be in an acceptable seat and boob carrier-style is dangerous as in an accident the shoulder strap of the car can injure the baby.
My advice to you would be to contact the airlines and see what they will provide for you and the costs, and what you can use if you have something they allow. Also check what in flight facilities they have for changing nappies etc and breast feeding.
You didn't say how long the flight will take, but if it is several hours long you may want to consider what things you will need, not just for the flight and mishaps, but also with long delays.
The Argentina Volcano no longer makes the news, but that's not to say it will not happen again and there are always delays we hear about flying in one form or another.

Is it possible to develop epilepsy after you've had a brain tumor?
Q. Like if your having seizures because of your brain tumor and then you have surgery to remove it but you develop epilepsy?
Answer
Occasionally brain tumours do trigger epileptic seizures. Brian Chappell (British Epilepsy Association) , Professor Pamela Crawford (Leeds Metropolitan University England) and Emeritus Professor Mervyn Eadie (University of Queensland Australia) have this to say about brain tumours and epilepsy in their book "Epilepsy at your fingers, all your questions answered about living with epilepsy" McGraw Hill Companies 2nd Edition 2002 ISBN 0074710710 p 52
"Scans can show whether or not someone has a brain tumour, but they can also show other things as well, so the fact that you are going to have a scan ( I believe that they are referring to a MRI scan here) does not automatically mean that the specialist suspects a tumour. It is important to remember that brain tumours are rarely a cause of epilepsy".
This having been said there are many causes of epilepsy. Trauma is the most common eg damage to the head at birth, in car or workplace accidents, then hereditary or chemical imbalance in the brain.

I hope that these sites helps to inform you further about epilepsy. There is still a wealth of information out there. Universities like Johns Hopkins, Harvard, USCLA in the USA; Oxford and Cambridge in the UK and Monash, and UQ in Australia are doing research into epilepsy. There are loads of web sites if you want to go on searching for more information on this condition.
Cheers!!!
