Would you bring baby to travel?

I don't particularly like travelling with baby, but that's just my personal thing. I am not organised enough to go travelling with baby. I don't mind it as such, but it does take its toll on me, travelling with babies, that is. I took my children to visit their grandparents in England every year, sometimes twice a year, and took them to Goa for a holiday. As far as infection goes, they can get it anywhere. I personally don't think travelling gives them more infection.

Normally, we don't bring along our new born baby to travel far away unless no one is taking care of the baby at home. If we bring a new born baby along to travel far away, I think the baby is suffering under the hot sun, rain, strong wind and so on which might not be expected in the journey. It is wise to keep the baby at home for someone reliable to take care.

Hello yspmyl, I traveled with my three months old baby in train which was two day long journey but was inevitable. I am working in a distant place and I had to travel to that place with my small baby, it happened twice, with my two kids. Otherwise if I can avoid the travel with a small baby then I avoid the same. For eg. I have seen that people go for a shopping with their month old baby; I can’t appreciate that and that also in the extreme climate. If I am in their place, I prefer to stay at home with my baby and send my hubby to get the things.

i don't know if I will but my parents took me and my sister where ever they traveled to when I was just a few months old. I don't hear them complaining about anything happening to us or us getting sick. They just tell us it was fun with th ekids and I love seeing the pictures now though I don't remember a thing.

I know what you feel about that. For me it is not really advisable to travel a baby. Yes, you're right when it is about the child's health. Parents should place on there mind that their child's' health is at risk.

i think that it is difficult to bring a few months old baby along in your vacation.. the changing of diapers, the crying, feeding, changing of clothes, carrying - these are just few of the things to be done.. also, like you said, i think that it is not advisable to bring a baby in crowded places where he/she can come in contact with a lot of viruses..

I think that it is lovely to take a baby traveling so he or she grows up used to traveling. I took my son to Portugal when he was 4 month old. I flew from Bristol to Faro. During my stay I took him on a train up to Lisbon and back again. Then when he was 13 months old I took him on a plane from Bristol to Riga in Latvia. We saw Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia on that lovely trip. Next I did long haul trips with him and we had the journey to London Heathrow. I was 18 weeks pregnant and my son was 20 months old. We had a five hour delay and then a 12 hour flight from London to Cape Town. We left in winter and had summer sunshine in South Africa. We did Cape Town and the Garden Route. Months after we got back my daughter was born. I booked a flight to Halifax in Canada and planned to see Prince Edward Island. However our flights got canceled. So I decided to book a flight to Vancouver. I took my son aged 3 and my daughter aged 11 months on a flight from London to Vancouver. My daughter had her first birthday in Victoria on Vancouver Island. I had my thirty eighth birthday in Vancouver. This year we traveled from London to Cartagena De Indias via Madrid and Bogota. My son was 3 years old and my daughter was 19 months old. We went to Cartagena De Indias and Santa Marta. My son is disabled so it was challenging with his wheelchair there.

I won't go travelling with a months old baby. I will surely not enjoy it that much. have a great weekend
