To add on, my friend spoke to her pediatrician about traveling with my baby as early as 8 weeks. Here are some of his concerns for traveling with a newborn: Airline Regulations: Some airlines require a doctor's note for a very young baby to fly. (For American Airlines, this age limit is 7 days or younger.) Airplane Germs: Since the air on a plane is recycled, your newborn is exposed to more germs than usual. Avoid flying with a newborn during flu season, or before 4 weeks old.

Visiting family would negate this point, if you plan on staying with them and getting plenty of help. Hope it helps :)
