    With a 6 weeker, I don't think there'd be much of a vacation...

    Go for it! DS will be 3 months when we go to Jamaica on the 12th for our honeymoon. He also went on his first flight at 4 weeks old (not sure if you planned on bringing lo).

    Are you planning to take LO with you?

    If not, for me personally, I couldn't imagine leaving DD at 6 weeks. She was so little, plus I was breastfeeding, so I couldn't imagine pumping enough milk to last several days.

    If you are planning on bringing LO, I'm not sure how much of a vacation it would be. My DD was getting up to eat every couple of hours at 6 weeks, so I was a zombie.

    Just my $0.02.

    I wouldn't do it. I'd be to stressed, and you'd have to pack so much_shit. If you're BFing, it would be a huge challenge. If you're bottle feeding, it would also be a huge challenge.

    Nope, no way. Too stressful for me.

    I would do it, but I think it depends on your particular LO.  I flew with DD when she was 7 weeks and again when she was 9 weeks and had no problems.  She just wanted to snuggle on my chest the whole time.  I made sure to feed her before each flight and then she passed right out.  Now that she is more alert and interested in her surroundings I think it would be a bit more difficult, but I definitely would have at that age.  On the other hand,  if you have a colicy baby, then that would be a totally different story. 

    Does your pedi have any recommendations on travel?  My pedi said that she normally doesn't recommend travel before 6 weeks.

    It depends on your LO's temperament. easy baby? Super fussy baby? 

    If i had the chance to go to hawaii when DS was 6 weeks old, I totally would have done it! He was so easy and laid back at 6 weeks. Taking him now that he is older would be much hard. GL!
