[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my BIL and SIL got married, one of the bridesmaids had a newborn with her at the wedding - and she brought her mother with her to help her with the baby so she could actually BE in the wedding and photos. It's nice of your parents to offer to help with the baby, but they will be busy with the wedding themselves - not to mention your wife has told you she's not comfortable with that idea.

[b]Think about just the baby for a second, OP. At six weeks, your infant will be too young to have had many shots (as many PPs have pointed out) and you'll be exposing them to all sorts of germs on the plane.

Now think about your wife: every delivery is different. An easy delivery and recovery the first time don't guarantee it any other time, and now you have a toddler who also needs your wife's attention and care. There's also a difference between recovering well when you're at home on maternity leave and recovering while you're traveling with an infant and a toddler.

No one is saying your brother's wedding isn't important, but your wife and baby are important too. Don't forget about them in all of this.[/quote]

As someone who's newborn caught RSV and ended up in the PICU fighting to breath, please do not expose your brand new baby. The nightmare and guilt is just not worth it.[/quote]
