My husband and I are contemplating two trips to visit family with what will be our 3 month old baby next summer. Each trip is a 4-5 hour nonstop flight, in opposite directions from where we live in California.

Both trips need to be taken within one month, my husband’s paternity leave. How much time in between these trips should I give myself and baby to rest at home?? At 3 months, I’m thinking as long as the boob juice keeping flowing, she wouldn’t be bothered by any breakup of “routine.” Currently I’m thinking 4 nights at home between landing and takeoff again, is that wrong? Am I crazy? Lol.

I’d appreciate suggestions, advice, and shared experiences. Thanks!!! 💚
