Hello,

Looking for some opinions from families who do a lot of travelling have done long haul trips with a youngster.

Currently pregnant and thinking of booking a vacation in the spring when baby will be 3 months old.

We want to go to either the USA to New Orleans/ NYC/ Boston ( multi-city trip + visiting family or Japan.

We travel a lot, could go business class for all flights, I won’t be breastfeeding.

Wondering if anyone else has taken a trip like this ?

AIBU to be thinking of a trip like this ?

Oh yes and then you could wait until they've had their 16 week jabs. Tbh though it does sound pretty ambitious. I'd wait and see how you feel.

When my second daughter was 3 months old, I went to Greece for a month, travelling around the country. It was great. Obviously harder work than a child free holiday but much more fun than being at home and lovely to spend time with family. I'd 100% go for it. We went between 12 and 16 week vaccinations and the GP said that was absolutely fine and not to worry. All the places you're looking at have great healthcare so I wouldn't worry.

I hate to rain on your parade but Holidays with a baby aren't really holidays, they are just being tired in a different place and therefore it's more difficult to do the things you usually do to manage. I have 3 and am generally an optimist but I would definitely try to think about how much sleep you may be getting and how much you will want to do in terms of sightseeing when you are exhausted.

Go for it but don't sit anywhere near a Mumsnetter on the plane! 😬😁
