You can easily hold them the entire flight without them trying to run around and it's so much easier to comfort them if they cry. I would do it - it sounds like so much fun! But agree with the sun - try to find UV clothing that'll be lightweight and breathable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexico-with-a-4-month-old#post-1215306 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 09:42:29 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1215306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Easier at 4 months than at a year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexico-with-a-4-month-old#post-1215257 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 09:25:25 +0000 septca 1215257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes to the passport. No to leaving him at home. (What is it with MILs???)</p> <p>The only thing I would "worry" about is the sun because he will be too young for sunblock or chlorine (the second is just my opinion) - make sure you bring lots of hats and lightweight but full coverage clothing. And HAVE FUN!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexico-with-a-4-month-old#post-1215200 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 09:06:49 +0000 mamimami 1215200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took my son to the beach in Acapulco when he was 4-5 months old and it was fine. I mean, not much of a "vacation" with a little baby but I definitely wouldn't have left him at home! </p> <p>We kept him in the stroller, in the shade/covered a lot of the time, and also I'd nurse him side-lying by the pool under a towel, and that way he'd nap for awhile too. I put him in the pool and in the ocean too, just for a little bit, when the sun wasn't too hot.</p> <p>He does need a passport. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexico-with-a-4-month-old#post-1215174 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 08:54:12 +0000 jetsa 1215174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stine_ciro: I agree completely she has been asking incessantly about him staying overnight, he's 8 weeks old and breastfed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexico-with-a-4-month-old#post-1215163 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 08:48:37 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1215163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd take him. The resorts are very safe and most have filtered water for everything, so you don't have to worry about any of that. He will need a passport. </p> <p>We are considering a trip to Italy when our LO will be 5 months and I've had several people say we should leave her with my parents, but I just don't want to. When she's older, sure, but not that early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexico-with-a-4-month-old#post-1215155 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 08:42:51 +0000 jetsa 1215155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH has a conference at an all inclusive in Cabo when J will be 4 months old. My MIL thinks we need to leave the baby home, I think he'll be fine and I'm not ready to leave him yet. ;)</p> <p>Thoughts? Suggestions on flying/time change/etc? Does he need a passport?</p> <p>ETA: it looks like I'll be flying one way by myself with him so suggestions on that would be helpful as well. </p>
