[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Really surprised by all the people saying to go. It isn't just the naps that are the issue (which yes we can divide and conquer). With all of the other kids being so much older and a bit more flexible, dinner tends to be late vs. early and some of the activities just aren't great for a 1 year old like multi-hour boat trips (which I know they do almost daily), fishing, hiking, etc.

Unfortunately the baby does not nap well (or at all) in the stroller/carrier. She needs to be somewhere dark and quiet or won't sleep for more than 20 minutes and is a disaster. We have tried it many times. We do push her sometimes when we are home, but not for like 7 days straight. A cranky overtired baby is not fun for anyone to deal with for multiple days while on a trip.[/quote]

You just don’t want to go.  Stay home with the baby then and let your family go.  Babies are very flexible.....some mom’s aren’t.[/quote]

Yah, I don't get it. One of you will definitely have to skip most of the big outdoor activities. On several nights, one of you might need to miss part/all of dinner to put the baby to bed. I don't understand why that would make the whole vacation a no go for everyone. That's just the nature of having a one year old.

Does the baby have sensory/developmental stuff of significance? That I can see because I know controlling the environment is the only thing you can do about that.[/quote]
