How do you cope

Sounds like you're an over thinker. All you need is the same things you use daily. Bring a travel stroller Breathe mama you know what you need you've got it.
Thanks girls
I also have a 7 year old, well he will be 8 when we go away and he is a lovely help too. It frightens me as being away in a different country with a baby and my toddler. I do have family to lean on but I hate putting on to family. I dont have my mam for help anymore as she passed away in 2023. I miss her so much. She was the best help. Do prams just go through with the suit cases ?
Your 8 year old will help a lot I suspect as they’re not a toddler anymore. Family will be a huge help just holding the baby etc, it will be easier than you think honestly! You take your pram right to the plane and give it to them when you board so you have it in the airport.
Let your family help. You have the village around you utilize it. Were not meant to do it all alone and be super mama. Let's normalize accepting the help that's around us.
On our last holiday my eldest was about to turn 2 and my youngest was 6 weeks. It was hard and me and my partner really had to communicate and work as a team. If it’s a wedding will you have family to lean on? It’s hard work but we’ve booked two holidays for this year so not enough to put us off. And 100% take a pram, you’ll need it more than most other things. Depending where you’re going you could also get nappies etc out there to save space in the case. Also a baby carrier or sling will be a must for the plane
