Traveling with 6-7 month old-need help

[debberino]

We will be traveling from Dublin to Sweden this June for a wedding. This will be our first trip with the baby in which we have to bring everything for her (we flew to Los Angeles to visit our family in March, but we had all the equipment we needed at my mom's house).

I guess I am not sure if I should put our stroller and car seat on the plane. It was enough to schlep the baby to LA....I can't imagine doing it with all of her stuff.

And then what do we do about where she will sleep? I have a hard time (really hard time) co sleeping with her.

What about one of these? You should take your stroller,it's not hard to check in.Can you hire or borrow a car seat there?

How old is your baby going to be?

Most hotels in Scandinavia will supply a travel cot with bedding on request.

Do you breastfeed or flask feed?

i would definitely take the buggy etc. you can take it right up to the plane usually. and check the car seat in as baggage. you'd be stuffed without it all at the other end.
can you hire a travelcot at the other end if you can't have her in with you? some hotels have them. i recently borrowed a friends pop up travel cot (about the size of a moses basket, but folds down roughly to the size of a big plate) which takes up no room at all. don't know where she got it sorry...try a camping/trekking type shop.

She will be 7 months when we travel. I do breastfeed (although we just started solids/purees). Good to hear about the travel cot-although she tends to sleep poorly in those (we had one in L.A. and it didn't work out)

We can't borrow a car seat and I have heard that the rentable car seats can be kinda gross.

I am going to check out the link lillypie and will check on getting a suite.

Thanks!
