Flying with 5 month old, concerned about H1N1

[Anonymous]

Would you fly with a 5 month old to Jamaica during the Thanksgiving rush? She can't get the vaccine and I am a bit concerned. I just wanted to get some opinions.

I say no.

are you breastfeeding? that would reassure me somewhat...friend's family all had h1n1. mom and dad got sick as heck, their EBF'd 5 month old had a much milder case. Obviously every child reacts differently. With the flu peaking soon, we are waiting to plan our thanksgiving plane trip for a few weeks in order to play it by ear.

I wouldn't, in part bc I'd want your DC to be able to go to a U.S. hospital if, god forbid, she needed to.

No, I wouldn't.
