question from 2nd tri

would you be able to leave your 10 month old with grandparents for 4 to 5 days while you were on vacation?
my BIL is getting married in Jamaica, where DH and I got married, when LO will be 10 months and I really want to go. it would be close to our 2nd anniversary and a nice time away together. I know it will be hard but DH doesn't think I will be able to leave LO for that long. What do you think? This is my first so I really don't know how I would feel.
Also, I am hoping to BF so if it works and I am still BFing at 10 months I guess that could possibly be an issue too.

Re: question from 2nd tri
I personally could not, but everyone is different. my sister went on a 1 week cruise when her son was a toddler and she had a lot of fun, but said it was super hard.
sorry, I didn't BF so can't answer that.
Every parent and every child is different. You could have a laid back kiddo at that point or you could have a high needs one that you can't leave overnight.
That being said, I have a laid back LO but he still doesn't STTN and I couldn't imagine leaving him overnight with someone other than us until he does.
they are getting married at a sandals and there is a beaches next door (family resort) so I mentioned we could take her along. DH doesn't think it would really be worth going then, a lot we couldn't do with a baby.
I will be fine not going, I'm thrilled to be having a baby and wouldn't change that for the world. We don't have to even book the trip for a year so we have plenty of time to think about it.
Yep. We just got back from 4 days in Vegas and DS stayed with MIL & FIL, he's 7 & 1/2 months. If you had asked me right after he was born I would have said no. He was 3 months before I left him with anyone but DH. Once we started working on that though it wasn't that bad to leave him for the vacay.
As for the bfing, if you are thinking of going you should start a freezer stash and keep building it so that you won't be stressed right before you go. You will have to pump the whole time you are gone if you are still bfing but depending on how often LO is nursing that may not be as bad at 10 months. GL

"You're gonna miss this You're gonna want this back You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast..."
I am going to Mexico for 7 days next week (for a family wedding) and DD is staying with my parents. I will definitely miss her, but I'm really excited to have a week of tropical fun with DH too! I think you might actually appreciate the break at some point! That's just me though. I don't see anything wrong with it! I would go.
