That would be way too long for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cross-country-trip-sans-baby-at-9-months#post-771976 Thu, 09 May 2013 20:41:24 +0000 Charm54 771976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm I'm not sure how bringing baby would work - DH is in the wedding party and its adult only so I wouldn't be able to partake in any of the events. Not sure what to do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cross-country-trip-sans-baby-at-9-months#post-771968 Thu, 09 May 2013 20:37:54 +0000 oliviaoblivia 771968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote bring baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cross-country-trip-sans-baby-at-9-months#post-771967 Thu, 09 May 2013 20:37:53 +0000 hilsy85 771967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's no way I could do that. Plus if you're nursing it would be a huge pain to have to pump that whole time you're gone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cross-country-trip-sans-baby-at-9-months#post-771966 Thu, 09 May 2013 20:37:41 +0000 Coffeebean 771966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are leaving baby who will be 8 months and other two kids for 3 nights this summer for a wedding. It's tough to be gone that long but everyone wins---grandparents get alone time with their grand babies and we get some adult time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cross-country-trip-sans-baby-at-9-months#post-771961 Thu, 09 May 2013 20:36:19 +0000 yellowbird 771961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I barely want to leave my LO for the work day, let alone overnight and she's 8 months. I would bring LO with you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cross-country-trip-sans-baby-at-9-months#post-771950 Thu, 09 May 2013 20:28:46 +0000 jmarionsmith 771950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my LO is 8 months old now and i couldn't leave him for a night right now, much less over a week. i say go and take LO with you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cross-country-trip-sans-baby-at-9-months#post-771928 Thu, 09 May 2013 20:21:01 +0000 shopaholic 771928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I could do it. But my SIL and ex-BIL left our nephew with the grandparents at 9 months to go to China for like 10 days or 2 weeks? I thought I could do it before lo was born, but now I think I'd rather bring her with us for such a long trip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cross-country-trip-sans-baby-at-9-months#post-771843 Thu, 09 May 2013 20:00:28 +0000 prettylizy 771843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally, I coulnd't have done it. She was still nursing 5-6 times a day at that point. I would go, bring LO and just send DH to the wedding part solo. You can still have an awesome trip for 7-10 days with your kiddo, but not bring him to the wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cross-country-trip-sans-baby-at-9-months#post-771830 Thu, 09 May 2013 19:58:09 +0000 Charm54 771830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DHs best friend is getting married on literally the opposite end of the country next May..I'm trying to decide if I should go or just have DH go alone. Since we are flying on points we have to decide soon.</p> <p>On one hand, it would be a great vacation for DH and I in a beautiful area that I've always wanted to visit. On the other hand, LO will only be 8 months old and I'm not sure I will want to be away that long - since it is such a far trek we would go for 7-10 days to make it worth our while.</p> <p>At this point I'm leaning toward going - my parents would watch LO (they live like 2 mins away) and he/she would be in great hands. Would you have been able to be away from LO that long at 8 months? Am I underestimating how hard it would be on me and/or the baby? </p>
