Husband Travels...Should Baby and I?
| Tue, 06-15-2004 - 1:12pm |
My husband is going to be gone for three weeks in a row. My five month old and I would be able to join him on one of the weeks, but I'm not sure how I feel about it. On the one hand..I HATE being home alone, and Brooke misses her daddy so I'd love for us to tag along. On the other hand, it is 10 hours away and we would be driving, plus she's never been away from home for more than a few hours, plus I breastfeed. Will this be too much on her? I've heard babies are resilient and it will help her be flexible, but I still worry. What do you all think? Will it affect her negatively, or will it help to be around mommy and daddy both? Will it totally disrupt her schedule? Again, she is five months old and it is a ten hour car drive plus a week away. I really would love to go, but not at the expense of my babies comfort and happiness. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
