Travelling abroad long haul with a baby 3 months old.

[Mama2be26]

Hi I'm currently pregnant with my first child.
Myself and the other half have planned a holiday towards the end of the year for his birthday but the baby will be around 3 months when we travel factoring in time for jabs etc. Has anyone got any tips travelling to Mexico/ caribbean or Dubai with a baby this age for 2 weeks. We both would like all inclusive but we're wondering if an apartment set up will be best. Also the plan is to combine breastfeeding and formula. So what would this look like in terms of travelling with formula?
I see most airlines allow 2 big items do we take a pram and a travel cot due to risk of sids or is a pram and carseat more important?
All tips and advise regarding travelling will be appreciated as this will determine where we book. TIA

No I would make alternative plans as you haven’t booked yet.

Definitely better when they are small. We only did short haul (6w after section, it was fine), and it was the easiest holiday we've had with kids.

Will you be knackered - yes
Will you be up half the night - yes

Are you still going to be knackered and up half the night when they are a year old, 2 years old - also probably yes, but they don't stay still then either 😂. Many people aren't at peak tiredness when baby is tiny, but when they are older, unless they get very lucky with sleep improving.

People have babies in hot climates, you just have to be sensible about it.

Honestly I wouldn't book anything until your baby is here. You have no idea what it is going to be like, it an absolute baptism of fire having your first baby. If you have it booked it will feel like a big pressure. Focus on baby arriving first and establishing breastfeeding which can be hard work (but once sorted, a million times less hassle than bottles).
