Kudos to you if your moms would be willing to take on that! Even at 5.5 months, I wouldn't leave him since not many people would be willing to wake up at 4 am with him.</p> <p>Also, its pretty hard to pump enough to cover a whole weekend ahead of time. So that is something else to consider if you are bfing. I guess I just would recommend not committing to anything right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-out-of-state-wedding-infant-twins#post-1765386 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 15:56:09 +0000 littlehunny 1765386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First off congrats! We took our 5 month old twins to my cousin's wedding. We didn't have to travel by plane, but we had a 2 hour ferry ride plus some driving to get there. It was a lot of work and L wasn't a fan of the noise at the wedding, but we had all sorts of people wanting to help us out. It was nice to get away and feel like a normal person again. My boys were pretty calm easy going kids tho so it really depends on the babies I think! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-out-of-state-wedding-infant-twins#post-1765363 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 15:44:40 +0000 Foodnerd81 1765363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't have left my one LO at that age, plus with breastfeeding, it would have been way too much for me. But I still have left her overnight and she's almost a year so I'm not the norm. If you are planning to breastfeed I would think the logistics would be really hard. </p> <p>So yeah I'd send Dh alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-out-of-state-wedding-infant-twins#post-1765355 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 15:41:27 +0000 Caly 1765355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We left our twins at 3mo with DH's sister &amp; her husband for the weekend and it went great. However, we were within driving distance. I'm not sure I would have quite been comfortable with being a plane ride away since there were so many variables with two.<br /> Also, congrats on the twins! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-out-of-state-wedding-infant-twins#post-1765349 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 15:38:13 +0000 X0X0X0 1765349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have twins but two small little ones; DD is 2 and DS is 3 months. DS is a super easy baby and I have a hard time leaving him for long periods of time because you never know when they will need you. I would let DH go on his own </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-out-of-state-wedding-infant-twins#post-1765346 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 15:37:02 +0000 mrsvdv 1765346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also think it would be too soon, and you might end up wishing you were home the entire time... I'm sorry the timing's not working out, I'd be bummed too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-out-of-state-wedding-infant-twins#post-1765336 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 15:34:24 +0000 twodoghouse 1765336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm leaving my 11 week old twins with grandma and grandpa this weekend for a wedding, but we'll only be 3 hours away. And we supplement with formula already so the babies are used to taking bottles and whatnot. I'm just praying they sleep alright! Honestly I don't think I'd be able to go a plane ride away until they are much older. It's just hard to plan for anything because you have no idea how your babes will be. They may be great eaters and sleepers and do fine. Or they may be going through the 4 month sleep regression and not sleep at all. I wouldn't plan on anything at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-out-of-state-wedding-infant-twins#post-1765329 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 15:30:02 +0000 lawbee11 1765329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would not have gone with 1, and especially not with 2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-out-of-state-wedding-infant-twins#post-1765326 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 15:28:35 +0000 MrsKoala 1765326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my son in February and I wouldn't have wanted to leave him overnight that early. I still haven't left him overnight even now! I think it's just too far to go! If you are planning to BF, that will also be a huge pain in the ass in terms of pumping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-out-of-state-wedding-infant-twins#post-1765321 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 15:26:24 +0000 mrsjyw 1765321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did my first overnight away from DS when he was 3 months old. We were only a 25 minute drive away. And I was still nervous and checking in. FTM nerves? I knew he was fine and totally trusted my mom, but I still felt it. I was also nursing and had to pump several times. I think for those reasons alone I wouldn't go for a wknd at that time frame.</p> <p>ETA: We went on our first flight away from DS for five days just this past spring, he was 18 months at the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-out-of-state-wedding-infant-twins#post-1765318 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 15:24:13 +0000 dagret 1765318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hmm..how far of a flight? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-out-of-state-wedding-infant-twins#post-1765315 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 15:22:16 +0000 abdubbs 1765315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would be sooo much easier if it wasn't out-of-state! If it were in town, I'd totally go and let grandparents watch them for the evening or maybe even overnight. But It's far enough away that we'd have to arrange flights in advance and I would be gone 3 days at minimum, which is what's making me think it just makes more sense for me to stay back home. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-out-of-state-wedding-infant-twins#post-1765312 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 15:21:47 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1765312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First, congrats on having twins! It's so fun, but it's a lot of work, especially at first. I wouldn't go unless it was like a sibling's wedding. I'm sure you could leave them and it would be fine, but I don't even think I'd want to leave a single baby for a weekend that early, and with twins it's just more complicated. At 3-4 months, I was still trying to juggle BFing, pumping, supplementing with a bottle. I felt like it took so much work just for our parents to be able to watch them during the day, much less for a weekend. We did go on a couple of driving trips when they were that age or younger, but I just wouldn't want to mess with it unless it was someone we were both suuuper close to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-out-of-state-wedding-infant-twins#post-1765311 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 15:21:38 +0000 Smurfette 1765311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would plan on him going and then you can always buy a ticket when it gets closer if you are feeling up for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-out-of-state-wedding-infant-twins#post-1765306 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 15:20:16 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1765306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Plan for him to go and maybe you can decide at the last minute that you are ok with 1 or 2 nights. It really depends on so many things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-out-of-state-wedding-infant-twins#post-1765301 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 15:18:57 +0000 Weagle 1765301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't have felt comfortable leaving my LO with grandparents at that age. Not because I don't trust them (well, I prefer my parents to care for LO than my ILs), but I was nursing and the idea of pumping for that long sounds miserable. If you're going to be nursing, that's definitely something to think about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-out-of-state-wedding-infant-twins#post-1765299 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 15:18:30 +0000 googly-eyes 1765299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let my mil watch dd at 5.5 months for a week. But I also was not breastfeeding at that time. I say go &amp; get a night of sleep &amp; let grandmas watch if they're feeling up to it.</p> <p>I think it's all about what you're comfortable doing though, and I'm not sure you'll know til you're pretty close to that day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-out-of-state-wedding-infant-twins#post-1765290 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 15:16:06 +0000 abdubbs 1765290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I are expecting twins in February (yay!). I know it's still early in the pregnancy, but I'm trying to think ahead on a few things, since I know this is going to be a total life-changer for us (we're also first-time parents).</p> <p>Next summer, my husband is the best man in an out-of-state wedding (June, so the twins will be about 3-4 months). He seems to think we can both go and just get grandma to watch them while we're gone. While I know either of our moms would be more than happy to help out, I feel like that's really early to leave them behind for a weekend and I'd freak out! But I also feel like it's too early to deal with taking babies on a plane and have them come with us.</p> <p>I'm leaning towards just telling him to go on his own and have fun, and stay behind with the babies on my own (with some other family/friend help, probably). I don't know though.... what would you do? Poll below... </p>
