It is best to wait until 4 to 6 months to take the baby on an airplane. As theother person said, it takes a few weeks to get a birth certificate, then 6 to 12 weeks to get the passport...so that should work out well. Be sure to talk to the baby's doctor before going and be sure he is current on his vacinations.
You have to wait aleast six days to fly but it could 6-12 weeks to get the passport. But you cant apply for the passport untill you get the birth certificate and it took us 3 weeks to get a birth certificate. Make sure you either breastfeed or bottle feed on the way up and down on the plane this helps the ears of the baby pop. Or your baby may have some problems when you land.
Travelling isn not safe for newborns, you should wait for at least 6 mos, has to do with the ears...and dont know about passport for baby but congratulations for the new baby, I hope is a girl
