[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go to both if you want to. Baby will be fine and DH should have no problem - in fact, could be a great experience for them to bond. My baby is six months and I’ve been away on four trips already. All have been great!

If you don’t want to go, that’s fine too but by 8 months, baby is not a great excuse. [/quote]

It wasn’t something that stopped you. [b]For OP and others, an infant is a legitimate reason not to want to go on a trip[/b].[/quote]

Eight months old?  I wouldn't want to leave the baby.[/quote]

Yeah, this. I wasn’t comfortable leaving my DD overnight until I weaned and she was older and not so attached to me. That ended up being when she was 3. But I also breastfed for a few years, she preferred me to the bottle, was used to night nursing, and was often sick. I also could not empty as effectively with a pump and had several bouts of mastitis. I would have been a wreck to leave her at 8 months and my husband would not have been keen to watch her so for me, neither of those trips would have worked. And I could not have done it when I was nursing for the aforementioned issues. If you formula feed it will be much easier, but the emotional piece is still there, too. [/quote]
