Traveling with one week old baby?

Question

So my in laws live in Texas and my husband is on paternity leave for 2 weeks since we’ve had our baby. He really wants to travel to Texas to visit but I’m not so sure it’s the best idea. What’s your opinions?

Answer

At this point I’m not concerned for your baby...I’m concerned for you! You really shouldn’t be traveling so soon, your body needs time to heal!

Answer

Baby is still to little in my opinion. We're planning on a trip when our LO is 6 months.

Answer

When my 1st son was born we had to travel back to New York for my Grandpa's funeral. We live in Ohio. We took him. Granted he was about a month old but we still took him. And he was fine.

Answer

Depends how far it is from you, is it a few hours or a few days? It’s definitely something you could do but you’ll have to give your time to make plenty of stops for you to get out and stretch and to get baby out and awake, you’ll have to stop for feedings also. When my first was three weeks old we took him to a family cabin in Lake Tahoe which is about three hours away, he did perfectly fine.
