Sleeping arrangements for newborn on holiday?

[Tweetypie95]

Hey Ladies,

Looking for some advice as a first time mum. Am I right in thinking a travel cot isn’t really suitable for a new born? As my mum didn’t really see a problem in it...

After suffering infertility for 2 years and putting off holidays due to “maybe’s” last year we thought we bloody deserved one and booked one for September 2018.

We really considered cancelling as we thought it may be just too overwhelming but It’s a family thing with lots of hands to help so we decided to persevere. We have Flexi booking so if I have a flap closer to the time of the birth we can defer.

Anyway. We are going to a lovely resort and we had already booked a larger room. Baby will be in-between 4-6 weeks depending on there arrival.

Has anyone been on holiday with a new born and what did you do about sleeping?

Also if you have any other advice it is greatly welcomed.

Thank you so much.

Oh my gosh. I feel like worlds worst mother for even suggesting it...

If a c section was the case then we wouldn't have went. Our baby would not be under 4 weeks ... even if born 2 weeks+ overdue.

Maybe it would just be better if we cancelled.

Is it ok for baby to go abroad before having any immunisations?
Thats not a dig OP just a genuine question that I'd never thought about before! If you feel up to it after the birth then do it! You'll have support from family and at least baby isn't mobile/will sleep lots etc.
Don't feel like a bad mother at all, i admire your determination, i just know i couldn't be arsed haha you'll have a great time

You said you could postpone if need be. Would you still have family help in that case? Or only if you go on the current booked dates? If you'll have lots of help then maybe it would be an ideal time to get away. Even pushing it back a few weeks til after vaccines etc would probably make all the difference.

Passport that fast will be a pain in the arse ! Not sure I’d travel with a baby so small I went when mine was 3months x
