Brief Answer:
Yes travelling can happen
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.
The baby is very small. Its a norm not to step out of home a lot until baby is older than 5-6 weeks. Mostly it will be uncomfortable for both mother and baby. Mother is still in the healing phase post-delivery. So is the baby. Both simply need to rest. But if you really really need to travel then with extra precautions it can happen. Both of them should be as comfortable as possible. Comfortable seats, mother-baby need privacy, no bumps and jerks on road, no extra handling of baby are some of the precautions.
Avomin is considered safe during lactation. One tablet of avomin should not do any harm. Though doxinate is considered safer.
Hope it helps.
