WWYD 2 Months old and vacation question

Some friends have invited us to the Outer Banks in late August. Nick will be just about 2 months old. It's a private house with 3 other couples. Two of the couples have small children. It would be a relaxing beach vacation (or as relaxing as you can be with kids )

I'm going to ask the Pediatrician her opinion as well, but I was curious as to what the BTDT moms here would do.

Would you go?

All opinions welcome!!

Thanks!

Re: WWYD 2 Months old and vacation question

Just my personal opinion but I dont think I would have taken DS on a vacation at that age for a few reasons.

First at 2 months his sleep at night was still very unpredictable and I wouldnt want him waking up a whole house of kids in the middle of the night. Also even this time of year kids have colds and I wouldnt have wanted to expose DS to that.

However its really up to you and your DH if you guys feel up to it then go for it.....

too young imo

Re: WWYD 2 Months old and vacation question

Love the OBX! I definitely didn't feel up to it at 2 months---DS was colicky and up a lot at night and I don't think either one of us would have really enjoyed it at that age---we were just getting used to getting out of the house at that point!

Re: WWYD 2 Months old and vacation question

No, I wouldn't have at 2 months. 4 or 5 months yes, but at 2 months DS had colic and screamed every night. Having people over in the evenings only made it worse. He was also up a lot at night still at 2 months, so I would feel sort of bad for the others.

Maybe I would travel if I had my own place to stay in, but not with a group of people.

Re: WWYD 2 Months old and vacation question

Thanks ladies!
DH and I talked about it (he obviously was more for it than I was) and I had all the same reasons for saying no. So we won't be going.

Thanks for the opinions.

I would go.

I took DD to Carolina Beach for a week when she was just about 2 months old. I had my SIL and mom there to help though. It really was pretty easy aside from all the gear we had to lug down. I brought a bouncy seat and she would sit in there on the deck or by the pool in the shade. When I did take her down to the beach, we just put her on a blanket underneath an umbrella. I would say go, you'll have a good time!

We took our son to Newport, RI at 2 months old. The easiest vacation we have been on with him. They are just so easy at that age. It was great!
