Is it possible to visit paris and rome with a 3 month baby?

Question

I want to go in the spring of next year, but we are having a baby in january and we really want to take him/her.. Has annyone travelled with a baby?

Answer 1

I have not, but I know of many people who traveled with a very young baby.

First of all, consider your own health and condition.

3 months after giving birth you should be ready to take up your normal activities, but traveling is a stress that is different from daily life.

You should be willing to do a little less active things that you would normally do when traveling, sleep in proper hotels or hostels that you know are good.

Your baby, at that age, can still sleep in any kind of cradle, even in a pram if you have the right kind.

Weather in spring will not be a problem, specially not if you take care to bring layers and a blanket to use outside if the weather is a little cold.

I would say, make reservations for your hotels and all travel you do, and you should be perfectly alright.

Although I am sure that many people will advice you against it, (risks of getting ill, disturbing the babies natural day and night pattern and so on,) but listen to people who do travel with their children at any age.

Do not forget the passport for the baby.

As it is only a short time between its birth and your travel, best check before the birth what is the best way of doing things.

I am not sure you want to have her/him in your passport or if you need to apply for a passport for the baby as soon as possible, info on what is needed can be found on this site, also has visa info for your husband:
