Hi all

I am nearly 9 weeks pregnant and need some opinions/advice. I know im thinking ahead but looks like we are going to have to book up sooner rather than later.

We are planning to go to our friends wedding in Mexico next May (Hubby is best man). The only worry i have is that our baby will be around 6 months old, has anyone got any experience of taking baby on long flight??

Thanks

Hi there,
I went to Mexico on my honeymoon in may 2008. It is such a beautiful place but I would be wary of taking such a young baby. The flight is one thing to think about but it was SO hot out there in may. I think it would be too much for a young baby and not much of a holiday you worrying so much about keeping them cool and hydrated.

Sorry to be so blunt but although I loved it and enjoy the heat usually it was a little too hot for me at times!

Anymore questions just ask and I will try to answer them!

Yes! I took my little girl to Mexico for a my brothers wedding when she was just under 9 months old. We went to the Pacific coast so our flight was around 11 hours. We booked it while I was pregnant and I too had been concerned but also didn't want to miss out on my brothers wedding.
The flight itself was fine, she ended up with her own seat despite me not booking her one, she was fab on take of and landing as I fed her to relieve the pressure on her ears. She did want to crawl around the cabin which I let her do when the crew were resting. The noise of the airplane really helps them to sleep as there were another couple of babies on the flight and they were very good too.
I took Milton to sterilise her bottles in cold water and a box of her usual formula in my case.
The heat was immense so she rarely wore anything except her sun protection suits when we were outside. She was kept out of the sun for the most part, only subjected to it when she was swimming so that was ok and I bought a fan for on her pram as well as a shade a babe for her pram.
She settled well into the time difference and we all had a fabulous holiday. It went so well in fact that I took her to Thailand last year and we're off to Florida this year!
Hope that helps!

Thanks for the replies.
Going to think about it, weve got until next month to book.
There are going to be some other little ones from 16 months old so going to discuss with our friends too.
