Random WWYD w/Poll
Here are the facts:
You're invited to a wedding in Mexico (DH's college friend)
Baby #1 is 20mos old
Baby #2 is 2mos old
You are BFing
If I go and don't bring DC#2 not only will she have to get formula, but I'll have to pump many times a day to keep up my supply

Re: Random WWYD w/Poll
It would really depend on who's wedding it was. If it was a family member and you HAD to go I would consider just pumping and saving it with formula as a back up. If it is a friend, I wouldn't go. If you bring your 2 month old DC, you won't have a good time, so why go.
IMO!!

I wouldn't be able to leave a 2 month old so your last option is what I chose.

Re: Random WWYD w/Poll
I personally would not go...If your husband is close to them, can he go alone?

Re: Random WWYD w/Poll
I would not go. All of the options seem like a hassle with a ton of stress and issues to deal with. It would be too much for me.

Re: Random WWYD w/Poll
I did this- except DD was 7 months old and we had enough of a freezer stash so my parents could give her BM. I pumped every 4-5 hours to keep my supply up.
That said- there is no way I would have done it if DD was 2 months old. At that point, you are still establishing a good milk supply and the baby nursing is the best way to do that.
If you can bring the grandparents, and your PED OKs it, then do it!

RLOL..that's true..didnt think of it that way. I was just thinking about it from a mom's point of view....guess if it were me, it would be too much for me to worry about bringing 2 babies...the whole BF thing...I stress out too much..lol

Re: Random WWYD w/Poll
I guess I'm in the minority...I would totally go and leave both babies with the grandparents. It will be good for both you and DH to get away for a few days...and I'm sure the grandparents will love having the babies all to themselves

Re: Random WWYD w/Poll
My first answer is stay home and don't go at all. If going is a must, bring the kids and grandparents.

Re: Random WWYD w/Poll
I do't think I could leave a 2 month old for 3 days.
If you can afford it, bring grandparents and put them in the room with the kids.

Re: Random WWYD w/Poll
I would not go.
I would not leave a 2 month old baby for 3 days and I would not bring a 2 month old baby in Mexico even with the grandparents. This is too young IMO.

Re: Random WWYD w/Poll
All of our recent health issues, it will be a very long time before I bring kids out of the country.
I would stay home...If dh still wanted to go, he would go solo.

Ditto. And I would take full advantage of the grandparents who will be available to help.

I would not go. If it was in the US, I would take the babies and bring the grandparents. But not to Mexico that young!

I already voted so i can't change my answer but my mind wasn't really even thinking about the baby being 2 months old. I would vote, don't go.

I would do the same.
Bringing a 2 month old to Mexico wouldn't be an option for me.
If I went to Mexico with out my 2 month old, I would pump & dump the milk while down there. I was in Mexico in April. Eight people on our trip came down with "Montezuma's Revenge" when they ate outside the complex. One was hospitalized for dehyrdation.

This was my thought as well. I am not sure I would even use the milk if I went.
I think I would not go.
