Hello! Here are some tips that might help with the problem of ear blockage in a toddler during a flight: 1. Keep your child in an upright position during takeoff and landing. This can help reduce pressure in the ears and prevent them from getting blocked. 2. Offer your toddler something to suck or chew on, like a pacifier, bottle, or food during takeoff and landing. This can also help reduce ear pressure. 3. Try using special headphones or earplugs for children, which can help reduce ear pressure during the flight. 4. If your child has a cold or a runny nose, consult a doctor before the flight to find out if they can take any medications to alleviate symptoms and prevent ear blockage. 5. Try to get your toddler to sleep during the flight, as sleep can help manage discomfort in the ears. I hope these tips help you manage the problem of ear blockage for your toddler during the flight. Good luck!

The main thing is to satisfy his sucking reflex. Ideally, he should be breastfeeding during takeoff and landing because this is when the main change in pressure occurs, and swallowing helps to equalize it in the Eustachian tube. However, if breastfeeding is not an option, you can give him small amounts of formula or water to ensure he continues to swallow.
