Help!! My husband is a Marine. He has been deployed to Japan, he's been gone since mid October and won't be back until April/May. Our daughter was born early July.
I'm planning on going to visit him in Japan at the end of December and I was planning on going alone. But now that the days are getting closer he wants me to take our daughter with me because it's killing him only being able to see her through the phone.
I don't know what to do 😫 personal opinions? And please don't judge me for even thinking about taking her if you think it's a terrible idea.

the flight is very long and you both will be very tired

honestly if her pedi said it was ok for her to go, I wouldn't think twice about taking her. That's her dad and it's hard for military men and women to be away from their family. Just make sure its ok with her doctor first. I know your husband would be so excited and happy to see his baby.

I would ask her pediatrician to make sure she is good to fly but I would take her. Japan isn't that bad. I've had friends who have lived there because their parents were stationed there. the stroller and car seat you can gate check , you can bring her a pack and play to sleep in. babies at a young age are easier to fly with just bring extra diapers and Formula or Breast milk, if possible I'd buy her a seat on the plane and bring her carseat on the plane to put in her especially if she likes it and can sleep well in it. it will be hard but the plane ride will go by fast and I'm sure your hubby will be really excited to see her. I have done many Cross country trips with my daughter starting at 3 months, but never out of country but if I had a reason to I wouldn't hesitate

yeah all of that makes sense, but for her stroller and car seat, I know you can put in with luggage or take the car seat and put it on the plane seat so she can be in it. it might be hard but I think it would be worth taking her so your husband can see her , I'm sure he misses her. the time change may or may not even effect her. she might be to young to know, you could keep her on the same schedule as she is in the us, it might be a little tiring but I definitely would try :)

I'm just think of the air quality there and thinking if she gets sick? Or how would I take her stroller alone just us 2? Will she need a car seat? Where would she sleep? Things like that 😣 it's an extremely long flight I'm not sure how she would do on it. The time difference right now it's 1am over there. How will that affect her? Idk maybe I'm just being negative. But all of my family members don't want me to take her so I don't know what to do because I feel bad for my husband. @savvylynn1

I'd take her, honestly don't know why you wouldn't. I'm sure he wants to see her just as much as he wants to see you
