Traveling with one infant is incredibly easy—much easier than it will be than with a toddler or with a toddler and an infant. Take advantage of it. Or don’t. Whatever. The baby of course won’t remember but you and your husband can still vacation. By the time both of my kids hit an age where they could remember their vacations they had been to a half dozen countries since my DH and I didn’t feel like sitting around the house for our vacations. Do whatever you want. But stop talking about your angelic baby.

lol and I agree with this poster.

How rude. There is nothing wrong with op's words regarding her child. You clearly are jealous types. I can't fathom why this bothers you.

Agree with this. Do whatever and also agree 7 month easier if nursing and can carry everywhere-best time to travel if can.

No you are definitely not crazy.

You make an excellent point that traveling w/an infant is no walk in the park.

And who cares what anyone says??
Let everyone mind their own business on how you decide to parent‼️

Traveling with small kids is not fun; team OP.

OP, ignore the negative replies here, there’s nothing “annoying” or offputting about your OP - not to a normal person anyways. This board is full of the most soul sucking Karens that I’ve ever encountered. I suggest posting this somewhere with normal posters. I also didn’t travel with kids under the age of 1 - it’s a risk to the baby and kind of selfish, and more work for me. Do what you think is best for your family - if that doesn’t include dragging a young baby on flights and long car trips you don’t need to apologize for that.

I was schlepping the would with my little ones from the time they were 6 months on. Schlepping, traveling, parenting in a different location...not vacationing

Travel lights my soul on fire and my kids have always been great adventure buddies but if one of those weren't true the cons would tip to out weigh the pros.

You're not crazy, OP. Having a baby is a fleeting time in life and you should spend it as you want.
