We went about 12 hours away and I pumped the entire weekend. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-take-your-first-trip-without-lo#post-1419152 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 20:50:42 +0000 Charm54 1419152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went away with my parents for 4 days when LO was 3 months, and then went on a ski weekend with DH when she was 4.5. I EP so it wasn't that much of a hassle. It was fun to get away, but I missed her like crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-take-your-first-trip-without-lo#post-1419137 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 20:45:20 +0000 lawbee11 1419137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 6 months and we haven't yet. She's EBF and I plan to BF for 1 year, so we'll probably go somewhere after her 1st birthday...I refuse to bring my pump on vacation! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-take-your-first-trip-without-lo#post-1419130 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 20:42:24 +0000 hellobeeboston 1419130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to Europe for 6 days when LO was 8 months. It was fun, but looking back I think it was too soon to go so far, and I was still nursing/pumping so that made it extra difficult. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-take-your-first-trip-without-lo#post-1418935 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 19:28:58 +0000 Aimed 1418935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: as someone who took her 8 month old to Italy (family wedding) let me assure you, you did the right thing! </p> <p>We left LO at 3 months or so for 4 days to look at properties in the area we were moving to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-take-your-first-trip-without-lo#post-1418929 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 19:26:59 +0000 GrapeCrush 1418929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: I figured we got a lot of people were thinking we were horrible for leaving him at 6 months...and then when we came back pregnant(surprise! Didn't know until a month and a half later Lol) people were probably really talking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-take-your-first-trip-without-lo#post-1418914 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 19:15:02 +0000 tequiero21 1418914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When they were lil less than a year and half, we went to Italy for 9 days. Yeah, I'm sure people think I'm so bad leaving my kids that long. We were thinking of taking them, but it wouldn't have been a vacation lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-take-your-first-trip-without-lo#post-1418911 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 19:13:37 +0000 MrsStar 1418911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo is almost 17 months and haven't spent the night away from her.

We just went 5 hours away to NYC.

We'll be gone 4 nights/5 days and will be leaving the country. He's 8 months old. I am sooo nervous but know he will be in good hands with my parents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-take-your-first-trip-without-lo#post-1418759 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 17:49:37 +0000 GrapeCrush 1418759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He was 6 months when we went to Jamaica for 4 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-take-your-first-trip-without-lo#post-1418756 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 17:47:53 +0000 LuLu Mom 1418756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right after her 1st birthday, we went 10 hours away for 3 days to a college football game. We had done a couple overnighters but never more than 24 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-take-your-first-trip-without-lo#post-1418752 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 17:46:16 +0000 sandy 1418752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>20 months - we left her for 3 days and were about 3 hours away. My friend left her 20 month old for 9 days to go to Hawaii and said her LO did great. It's mentally tough on the parents bc you worry you can't get back if something happens. It was easy for me bc we were just a drive away and my mom stayed with LO at our house. We left for 5 days across the country when she was 26 months and it was so easy bc we had left her before and knew she would do great </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-take-your-first-trip-without-lo#post-1418677 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 17:02:53 +0000 autumnlove 1418677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was 2.5 months. We left her with my parents for 3.5 days and we went snowboarding and attended a wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-take-your-first-trip-without-lo#post-1418674 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 17:01:26 +0000 Weagle 1418674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was 20 months - just last month. I feel like she's too young to leave with friends (they'd be willing, but they have their own kids to care for), and we don't live near family. We went across the country. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-take-your-first-trip-without-lo#post-1418665 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 16:58:16 +0000 vinomama 1418665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old was your LO when you and your SO went away for the first time after his/her birth? How far away did you go? </p> <p>Planning to take a trip a few months after our LO's first birthday, but can't decide if we should stay close to home (a few hours away), or go somewhere tropical. </p> <p>Thoughts? </p>
