He was totally fine and I didn't want to risk upsetting him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skype-with-lo-while-away#post-1850137 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 06:08:19 +0000 looch 1850137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had success using a call first/skype later method, when my husband travelled. First, we'd call and let my son hear his dad's voice, and I'd just turn on skype in the background, if you will. He didn't even know it was on sometimes, you might try that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skype-with-lo-while-away#post-1850133 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 05:57:48 +0000 blackbird 1850133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>can you practice in separate rooms of the house? then if she gets upset, you can magically appear? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skype-with-lo-while-away#post-1850124 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 05:27:15 +0000 mediagirl 1850124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to travel to NYC next week and the week after. I'd like to Skype with my lo but I'm hesitant. The last time I traveled was in the beginning of the year. We tried Skyping then, when M was 18/19 months and it seemed to upset her more than comfort her. </p> <p>She is now 27 months. Should I try again? Maybe now that she is a little older, she will understand mommy is away but will come back soon? </p> <p>We don't Skype with other family members so it's not a normal thing for our family. </p>
