    Fun watch. For our family, travel is nowhere near the top of our priority list at the moment. We really enjoy reducing stress and planning, and getting to enjoy the little moments closer to home.

    Living in Hawai’i with kids, (currently 2 weeks PP with #5) has meant we haven’t traveled off the island in years! In fact the last time I left the islands we had 1 6month old. But my family on the East coast is BEGGING for a family reunion so I’m trying to mentally prepare for an intercontinental trip with 5 kids 8 and under! 😱 These were helpful tips for traveling FROM Hawai’i too! 😄

    Great video and lots of general travel good tips wherever you go. Last year we did 3 weeks in Puerto Rico and we brought my mom to help - this was a great idea! This winter We took our toddler to Mexico for 6 weeks (we work remotely) just the 3 of us, while I was 20-26 weeks pregnant. I highly recommend Mexico with kids - we were going to do all inclusive then realized for the price of one week we could do 6 in a nice 2 bedroom condo with a pool walking distance to everything. Also the food is so good and cheap and restaurants and food stands are everywhere so food was very easy. We did make breakfast in our condo everyday - so much fun walking with my daughter every morning to the nearby fruit market and tienda for fresh ingredients . We did not bring a stroller and did not miss it: if u decide u need one there are super Walmarts and coscos in Mexico too! Next year we are planning 6 weeks in Vietnam with our baby + 3.5 year old. The scariest most stressful part is before you leave your front door!

    Filing away these tips for our upcoming first trip with a baby/toddler!
    I actually was thinking as you talked about how you didn't do a lot of activities beyond going to the beach/pool that going to Mexico would be a great alternative and probably much cheaper. Look into Puerto Vallarta for your next trip! I might be biased bc it's where I grew up, but I think it is similarly cool to Hawaii with the lush jungle mountains meeting the sea and all!

    This is actually very helpful, we’re due with our second baby in September and planning a trip to Curaçao from Canada with family in November. So we’ll have a 1.5 year old and a 2 month old. I’ve never been on a trip before so have no idea what to expect and the thought of running on an almost newborns schedule while on a “relaxing” vacation with a toddler sounds stressful. But when you said travelling with a baby under 4 months is ideal, it made me feel better and gave me some motivation lol we are staying at an all inclusive! Hopefully we won’t be locked to our room and can enjoy the beach and sun as much as possible.

    • @heyshayla

      No way! Strap that baby to you! Baby will nap anywhere before 4 months usually!

    Super helpful. Super encouraging. I'm working on getting pregnant with my second and we're cosleeping with my first for probably all the reasons you are (attachment, emotional development, convenience, etc)... And hearing you talk about cosleeping with both of your girls is super helpful and super encouraging. I know that's obviously not what this video was about, but I cling to every word you ever say about cosleeping and laying with your girls while they fall asleep because it's my reality right now. My heart tells me it's not time to "train" my babe to sleep on his own but literally everyone I know thinks I'm nuts bc he's 17 months old now. BRB gonna rewatch your cosleeping podcast lol.

      Oh goodness! My heart hurts for you knowing people are telling you to train your baby to sleep. I got a lot of judgement for cosleeping. It wasn't until my 3rd baby that I just owned it. He sleeps with me, he's 10 months, my 3 year old sleeps with us, and sometimes my 5 year old...

      It’s hard at first but bedtime is like a sacred time to me where we get to connect after the day and snuggle up. Read a book, we make up stories, pray or say our fav parts of the day or I say my favorite things about the girls and then we all fall asleep. Some nights are nuts but I really have learned to love it so much.

      My four year old still sleeps with us. It's been so special. Plan to continue for as long as he wants to! People think it's weird but I think it's weird to force kids to sleep alone if they don't want to, and then to have to get up out of bed multiple times a night to comfort them! Much rather he can just crawl over to me or my husband and feel safe and supported. It's also so great if he's ill because we're right there with the bucket, or the drink or the medicine. Go with your gut and be proud you're making the decisions that are right for your family ❤️

    American Airlines specifically is a stickler about the wagon is not a stroller. We bought a wagon that collapses down as small as a carry on and we always carry the wagon on now as one of our carry ons, because of having been made to check it before.

    We went to Taiwan for five weeks with our four year old and one year old this February. I was 30-35 weeks pregnant during that trip. Jet lag was definitely a Factor, but it was totally worth it.

    We are starting to plan our next baby. We know we want to take a trip to Belgium soon to stay for a bit. Trying to decide if we should pre baby #2 or post

    We took our 15 month old to Oahu for a month last year. We flew from Texas so it was also a long flight and big time difference. I definitely feel like the number one tip is to manage your expectations. Our daughter is a very challenging sleeping and she didn’t sleep at all the entire flight there and didn’t take a single car nap the entire month we were there. We were mentally prepared to be at our place for naps or an early bedtime. Traveling with toddlers is pretty hard, but definitely worth it. (She also got 3/4 molars on that trip which was great😅)

    More on the sleep situation! My little one will be 20 months when baby is due in August. He sleeps in a sidesleeper next to our bed, but comes up halfway through the night. Nurses sometimes, but not all of the time at night just to get settled. He won’t just cuddle with Daddy, so I’m not sure how this is going to work! I’m scared!!! He naps in the crib during the day. Maybe he will have a big shift in the next month or so 🙏🏽 He has slept through the night just once so far, but he is getting close!

      Depends on the carrier! I use a style called onbuhimo lots of brands have this style. And that has no waist band.
      I’ve also seen ppl do the waist band under their belly for a back carry.
      So yes and it depends lol
