[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Expecting a woman to travel on a three hour flight 6 weeks PP with a toddler and a newborn, while you perform best man duties all weekend, is actually unreasonable.

She, on the other hand is being perfectly reasonable by staying home and encouraging you to go. If you believe you have enough help there, go and take your toddler so she can stay home and recover with the new born.

I also wouldn’t be keen on travelling on a flight that long with a newborn, before they’ve had vaccinations.[/quote]

All of this. Exactly. I also had severe PP bleeding 3.5 weeks out the first time around and had to go to the ER. No way would I hop on a plane at 4-6 weeks out this time around. In addition, even if your wife has adequate supply for breastfeeding this time around, the average newborn is feeding 8-12 times a day 
or 8ish hours/day. How exactly is she supposed to manage this while wrangling a toddler? I'm imagining your parents will be busy with wedding stuff too, so unless you're prepared to hire a nanny for the trip, I just don't see how it's doable without it being exceedingly stressful.
