I thought that was a great idea to help the baby stay cool without always having to be in the big pool. FWIW. Also take plenty of clothes that are lightweight but cover a lot of skin.</p> <p>I am sure you'll be fine. Stay aware of your surroundings and obey the law and authorities. Stay calm and respectful and have a great time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-for-mexico-with-my-6month-old#post-45233 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 21:24:54 +0000 sunshine44 45233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ Chopsuey, will make sure to do that!<br /> @ Tequiero21, that must have been so scary! What did you guys do? We'll definitely make sure to stay safe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-for-mexico-with-my-6month-old#post-45195 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 20:13:28 +0000 tequiero21 45195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i was going to say the same - don't drink anything with ice or their tap water (not everyone's stomach can handle it).....</p> <p>also, stay in the main areas - my hubby and i drove to chitchen itza (forget spelling) and on our way back, we got bombarded with mexican military. very scary. they were aiming machine guns at us and tapping at our rental car screaming in spanish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-for-mexico-with-my-6month-old#post-45164 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 18:31:47 +0000 chopsuey 45164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Make sure you only drink bottled water! Take sunblock, hat, sunglasses for your LO. Have fun! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-for-mexico-with-my-6month-old#post-44810 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 00:14:22 +0000 sunshine44 44810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're taking our first family vacation to Mexico in February!! LO will have just turned 6 months when we leave. I've been making a list of everything I'll need for her, but any tips for traveling in Mexico, beach care, etc etc etc would be greatly appreciated! She'll still be exclusively BF so I'll save myself the hassles of food at least. And the resort is very infant friendly so I'm hoping we wont run into too many problems. </p>
