[quote=Anonymous]How old will baby be? I think it really depends on how stressful you find fliying in general. I don't love to travel with small kids, but beyond not traveling with kids for exceptionally short trips where they will never adjust, I would not base decisions around avoiding it. I traveled alone with my kids several times in their first year. With my second, that meant with an infant and toddler in tow. We've flown with kids for Christmas every year, and one year that even meant taking my 1 y.o. overseas to visit family. If there are other logistical issues like your wife's job, that's a different matter. But I would not make the decision to either be apart from your nuclear family or miss what sounds like a rare extended family gathering just because of the hassle of traveling. DCUM-ers are really weird about extended family...if yours is important to you, then this is a great time to introduce them to your kid.[/quote]
