I think my post must’ve come across wrong. We wouldn’t go when the baby is tiny. We would wait at least until September which would be 5 months and wanted to try a short plane ride somewhere in the states first to see how that goes. I do agree with you that a cruise might be better.
5 months is still kind of tiny. All babies are different and we all have different tolerances, temperaments, etc. But if you have a fussy baby and/or a baby that doesn't sleep well, traveling internationally (especially the plane ride) sounds pretty rough to me. And it sounds like a trip you would have to plan in advance without really knowing what the baby will be like or how you are adjusting to motherhood. Not trying to be a killjoy at all.
I flew International with my oldest at 7 weeks. I was nursing which made it a LOT easier. When the crew found out I was going to nurse, they set me up front. They were exceptionally kind to me. The next two did not fly that young. My almost 4 year old grandchild had a holiday in Tuscany in her first 6-7 months, and had 3 trips before age 1. DD slowed down a bit in the second year because the second grand came along when the oldest was 12
As stated above all babies are different and all parents are different. You and your husband (and baby) will know what works for you when the time comes. The sky's the limit.
