Taking little one on holiday?

I feel super conflicted on what to do. We have a holiday coming up soon and little one would be 14/15 months. My mums offered to watch her because she thinks it’ll be hard and lots of travelling with the little one. It does seem logical but I’m not too sure if I’ll regret it. Do I take them with me or leave them with my mum? What would you guys do?

Idk me personally I would bring my babies I don’t like them out of my sight 😭 and it’ll be good for memories later down the line and if your flying i believe they still fly free till 2

It really depends what type of holiday you’re thinking of, how well your little one knows your mum, and whether you think you’d enjoy the holiday without her or miss her too much. We haven’t tried to take our little boy away other than staying with family since he was 4 months old because I can’t imagine how we’d have any kind of relaxing holiday with him at the moment! 😂 So personally I’d be taking up the offer but it might not be right for you

The best thing to do is take your little one on holiday with you, and then you don't have to worry about her

We took our little boy to a resort when he was 17 months and it was quite hard work because he was at the in-between age where he didn't nap lots but didn't really want to play either. He just wanted to escape all of the time 😂 Their routine goes out the window on holiday anyway and it took him a few days to settle. I'd go away without your little one and enjoy the time to yourselves.

My eldest was 13 months when we first went abroad. It was stressful but still enjoyed it. He actually learnt to walk whilst we were away

It totally depends on how you feel about leaving your little one and how long for. Personally, if my mum offered to have my LO when he was 15 months I would have gone for maybe 5 days as I don’t think I could be away for longer. we’ve been abroad with our LO a lot since he was born (luckily my parents have an apartment abroad) but we’ve only been away once without my mum and dad and I’ll never do it without them again because it is very hard 😂.
