Hey there! Traveling with a baby can be such a wonderful experience and it's totally understandable that you want to create beautiful memories with your little one. It's great that you're planning ahead and considering nearby destinations like KL for your trip in July or August when your baby will be around 9 months old. Firstly, it's important to address your husband's concerns and reluctance about traveling as a family. Have an open and honest conversation with him about the benefits of traveling with your baby at this age. You can highlight how it can be less stressful to travel with a younger baby compared to a more active toddler, and how it's a great opportunity for bonding as a family. To ease any worries he may have, plan the trip in detail, including accommodations, transportation, and activities suitable for your baby's age. This can show him that you've put thought into making the trip as smooth as possible for everyone. Another way to convince him is by sharing positive experiences of other families who have traveled with their young babies. Hearing about successful trips from others might help him feel more confident about the idea. Of course, if he is still hesitant, it's important to respect his feelings and reach a decision together. If waiting until your baby turns 1 makes him more comfortable, consider postponing the trip. Remember, the most important thing is to enjoy the journey as a family, so finding a solution that works for both of you is key. Ultimately, every family is different, and there's no one-size-fits-all answer. Trust your instincts and communicate openly with your husband to find the best decision for your family. Good luck with your travel plans! https://invl.io/cll6she
Try to travel with him to even nearer places like jb first so your husb can sort of get the feel of what it's like travelling out of the country with a baby for the first time. Maybe he's just not confident. Then you try KL and convince him to try since it's just an hours flight, no harm trying. If he's worried about baby crying uncontrollably on the flight, then maybe try to put baby to sleep before getting on the flight? If he's worried about exposing baby to illnesses and diseases overseas (my mil's worry) then maybe wait it out till he's much older and stronger 😁
I’m planning to go with my LO when she’s 7 months plus! Friends advise me to go before baby can walk 😂 maybe can tell your husband if you don’t go now then probably more difficult when your baby is older.. or some people go for nearby countries or even cruise, or to travel with family for help
I'm travelling with a 3mo to visit my in laws in KL. don't worry! all will be fine. I have friends who travelled with 3mos as well. just make a list of things to bring to assure your hubs that everything has been planned
Will be travelling next week w my 8 mth old! Best to travel while they still can’t really run around. Faster go! We’re gg on a few trips to maximise the free infant air ticket!! HK, TW, JPN
