to take a newborn on holiday/a plane?

[NorthernQuarter]

Newly pregnant with #3. Way too early days yet to be thinking about this properly but just thinking of what if's etc for our plans next year.

Would you be wary of taking an 8-12 week old on a plane to a hot (European) country?

Previously taken DC#1 when 6 months old and that was fine & DC #2 when 9 months old. Have BF two babies successfully so don't foresee needing to pack formula etc.

I'm not a sun bather so lots of shade/cool places for me and baby. DC#1 & #2 are a fair bit older.

Am I being naive thinking it would all be absolutely fine

I think he threw up a lot because he wanted to nurse a bunch because of the unfamiliar surroundings and noise etc.

I travelled from the ME to the U.K. when my 4th child was 2 weeks old. It wasn't a problem. I also had 3 other children with me. You'll be fine. Have a great holiday.

I took DS to Ireland at 4 weeks and Italy at 12 weeks. Not a bother on him.

Passport shouldn't be too hard - although I was able to go to the Passport Office in Lindon, which helped.

I wouldnt book the holiday until you have a passport, but otherwise enjoy - it'll be harder a year later for sure!

We went to the States when the wee one was 7 weeks. It was fine, slept just about all the way there. Slept all the way back and the next 24 hrs with us.
