Re: bringing bb to travel
Eve, if your bb is the guai guai type, can bring out, won;t fuss too much or cried too badly, definitely can bring along,. It will also definitely be tiring cos u will have to travel with bb's pace unlike when its just two of you can go out and where as and when u like. when i travel with my kids, i follow their pace, we wake up early and alwasy stop somewhere for meals (diff to eat on the go with children) and when its nap time, we either head back to the hotel or we stop somewhere (cafe etc) for them to nap while we rest or have a late lunch. and by 8plus 9, we are usually back in the hotel to put them to bed. IF kids are sleeping, sometime i sneak out to buy supper or shop around on my own, while hb looks after the kids.. heheh So if u bring bb along, just remember not pack your itineary full, just do 1 or 2 places in a day and go slow so u won;t end up fustrated and bb won;t end up being too tired or overstimulated and cry all the time. U can ask Viman too, she just came back from a holiday trip to Perth with bb.
Taiwan is not too pram friendly i think, so u need to travel with a light weight stroller or strap bb on your sometimes.
Actually i feel the best time to travel with them is when they are still in diapers.. hahah cos no need to stress looking for toilet for them. i travelled with my no.1 when she is 1.5 YO., our first trip was on a cruise.. hehe. Good to go on a cruise as a first trip with bb, cos any problem, u just head back to your cabin, very easy.
Jenny, wha so nice that u wanna bake bb a bday cake. heheh i dunno how to bake, only know how to use premix and sometimes, it still turns out chao tar!>. hahaha
HI5 jenny, i also place a fan to blow specially into my playyard cos she crawl around too much and sweat very easily, need the wind to cool her down. so now she has her own personal fan when she plays in the playyard.
And dun worry about ur bb not sitting, cos bb developes at their own pace, try to limit his time on the walker and put him more in the playpen, with more exposure, he will learn to sit faster. Again, u may also want to observe him more.. cos usually there will be compensation. If his gross mnotor skills are not so developed, he may have better fine motor skills. so observe and see if he can pick things up with his fingers etc.
thanks for including us in
