I just feel like it would be a PITA :) (too much to take, too much having to sit in the room while your kid naps a thousand times, etc). </p> <p>But I'm not a huge travel bug anyways. I sort of feel like I'd rather wait until LO can spend a night without us and have my parents stay with her while DH and I have a vacation by ourselves thats a real vacation! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-travel-out-of-the-country-with-a-7-mo-for-vacation#post-2050703 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 12:46:57 +0000 HTownMom 2050703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Hawk71: definitely go for it! We travelled all over the U.S. with LO since two months. She went on a 9hr flight each way when she was 8 months and did great! Also went to Belize when she was 13 months and again she was great on the flight and loved the trip! In her first 15months she went on 40 flights and we only ever had 2-3 bad flights where she was sick or grumpy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-travel-out-of-the-country-with-a-7-mo-for-vacation#post-2050548 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 11:30:41 +0000 CRGmama 2050548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stayed at the Melia in Puerto Vallarta. It was really close to the marina so we walked there twice for dinner. Very kid friendly resort. The food was mediocre but not terrible, from what I've heard that's pretty normal for an all-inclusive. We did bring a umbrella stroller, it would have been miserable to wear him, too sticky and hot. We live in Southern California so the flight was only 2.5 hours and DS was a champ both ways. We had a great time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-travel-out-of-the-country-with-a-7-mo-for-vacation#post-2050497 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 10:50:53 +0000 BKCaribBaby 2050497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went outside of the country to Canada and to a Caribbean island when LO was 4 and 7 months respectively. If you're going to be at all-inclusive place, you'll be fine. I would maybe pack some pouches of food or if you are thinking of Baby-led weaning, then just ask for some help from the staff there. It should be fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-travel-out-of-the-country-with-a-7-mo-for-vacation#post-2050487 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 10:46:02 +0000 Mrs.Hawk71 2050487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CRGmama: where did you stay? Did you have to bring stroller etc? Or did you baby wear.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-travel-out-of-the-country-with-a-7-mo-for-vacation#post-2050478 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 10:44:42 +0000 Mrs.Hawk71 2050478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks so much everyone!! Makes me feel so much better about it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-travel-out-of-the-country-with-a-7-mo-for-vacation#post-2050423 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 10:14:51 +0000 edelweiss 2050423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes. much easier to travel before they are walking and into toddlerhood. we traveled overseas without 18-month old and it was SO HARD. take advantage of their baby-ness while you can! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-travel-out-of-the-country-with-a-7-mo-for-vacation#post-2050154 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 03:36:37 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2050154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We flew back home to visit family and attend a wedding when LO was 7 mo (all day international flight). The flight was rough because back then, she only let me carry her, not to mention her allergies were in full effect. But she napped twice a day and not too mobile.</p> <p>When she was 1.5 yo we took a short 5-6 hr flight and although the flight was a breeze, she was a lot more active and opinionated: we had to schedule more activities around her. </p> <p>Looking back, I think traveling with a baby that isn't so mobile is easier. But traveling with an active toddler is more fun.</p> <p>I say go for it! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-travel-out-of-the-country-with-a-7-mo-for-vacation#post-2050152 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 03:31:57 +0000 illumina 2050152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! We took our Daughter abroad for the first time at almost 12 months, but I think it would have been so much easier at 7 months before she started crawling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-travel-out-of-the-country-with-a-7-mo-for-vacation#post-2050148 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 03:18:41 +0000 QBbride 2050148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-travel-out-of-the-country-with-a-7-mo-for-vacation#post-2050147 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 03:17:56 +0000 lamariniere 2050147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took DS to Europe at 6 months. It was pretty easy! We were also staying at my ILs, so it was a little more convenient than just going out on our own, but we took him to two other countries while in Europe and it was fine. It's so much easier to travel when they aren't yet mobile!</p> <p>If you are in an all inclusive, your only real "problem" will probably be sleep (if your LO isn't sleeping well)! :silly: If you don't have to worry about cooking or housecleaning, it sounds like a dream! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-travel-out-of-the-country-with-a-7-mo-for-vacation#post-2050137 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 02:41:05 +0000 birdofafeather 2050137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds amazing to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-travel-out-of-the-country-with-a-7-mo-for-vacation#post-2050115 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 00:29:41 +0000 sunny 2050115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to Europe with our LO at 7 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-travel-out-of-the-country-with-a-7-mo-for-vacation#post-2050096 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 23:49:04 +0000 CRGmama 2050096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took our then 8 month old to Mexico in October. We stayed at an all-inclusive with another couple and their toddler. It was really fun! Go for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-travel-out-of-the-country-with-a-7-mo-for-vacation#post-2050071 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 23:07:05 +0000 bisous 2050071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Worth it! We took DD to Europe when she was just under 1. She was so easy and flexible--I could carry her in a wrap or soft structured carrier without her wanting to run around and she could nap while we were out and about.</p> <p>It doesn't seem that long ago but it would be so much more complicated today. Her being mobile and having a strict nap and bedtime routine really changes everything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-travel-out-of-the-country-with-a-7-mo-for-vacation#post-2050034 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 22:25:47 +0000 Astro Bee 2050034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My in-laws did a lot of international travel with DH when he was young, and they say it was easier before he was fully mobile. </p> <p>5 yrs ago, we'd planned a big family trip to Ireland for this coming fall (my parents, DH's parents, out brothers); the thought being that everyone would have amble time to arrange their finances and schedules. We hadn't planned on having a 6 mo old at that time, but MIL, as well as many friends, have assured me it's the best time to travel. </p> <p>Unfortunately for us, some family members may have to pull out due to finance reasons, and are urging us to to a closer, less expensive trip at that time instead. So we'll probably end up doing that trip when LO is a toddler or older, and a big handful! </p> <p>Enjoy your trip!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-travel-out-of-the-country-with-a-7-mo-for-vacation#post-2050033 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 22:25:24 +0000 Beehive 2050033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely, we traveled out of the country with DS when he was 5 months old (Italy) and 10.5 months old (London and Ireland). The 5 month trip was much easier than we expected, we just wore him the whole time! Go for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-travel-out-of-the-country-with-a-7-mo-for-vacation#post-2050027 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 22:21:20 +0000 Maysprout 2050027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didnt do an all inclusive but we did travel out of the country with our 6 month old. It's a good age, they're not too mobile and still nap twice a day or fall asleep when strapped to you. Go for it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-travel-out-of-the-country-with-a-7-mo-for-vacation#post-2050026 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 22:20:52 +0000 Sunshine710 2050026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely it's worth it. And it's easier now while LO is still young! We took DS to Europe (13 mo) and Israel (18 mo). Go for it and enjoy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-travel-out-of-the-country-with-a-7-mo-for-vacation#post-2050018 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 22:15:15 +0000 Mrs.Hawk71 2050018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were first planning on taking a vacation when lo turns 1, however... may want to go a little sooner. Thoughts on this? Is it worth it, or just more work? Would you feel safe? Thinking all inclusive kind of thing (mexico or jamaica) </p>
