@ Is this crazy? To Frankfurt and back in one day.
DH and I are supposed to be flown to Frankfurt this coming Monday to do some apartment scouting. His company is setting up the appointments, but I am trying to decide if I should go.
I would love to go, but DD is exclusively BF so if I go she pretty much has to come with us or I will use up my tiny freezer stash in one day and have to deal with the PITA of pumping every couple hours.
Would it be totally nuts to take her on two flights in one day? I would take the ergo or moby with me in addition to the stroller to make sure she gets her naps in while we're there.
Re: @ Is this crazy? To Frankfurt and back in one day.
I would think it is very doable and I probably wouldn't even bring the stroller if your DD naps fine in the Ergo or Moby. At that age DD slept in the Ergo everywhere we went and with BF it will be easy. It probably isn't much different than when we fly to Europe: we have a real early flight out of CO and then we have a long layover and leave at 6 pm on the trans-Atlantic flight. At 4 or 5 months it should be easy. Plus I would think it would be important for you to get a lay of the land as well.
Good luck with the apartment hunting!
yea I'd go for it - if she is bfing then that makes it easier - and like pp said if she naps in the ERGO you might want to just bring that - might be easier if you have stairs to negotiate at apartments too
GL!

Now Nesting from Chicago, IL My nail blog:
I would take it too if you're going to be driving around. And if she falls asleep in the car seat your DH can help carry it around!
FYI-The car seat snapped into the stroller counts as a normal stroller so you can take it right to the gate and no airline (not even Ryanair) charges for a stroller (they should also give you two luggage tags for it: one for the base and one for the seat).
This is very good information to have!
I remain undecided actually. Last night I had it pretty clear I would bring DD with us, but MIL would like to watch her for the day and I'm starting to think that might work out better for all of us. Although pumping every 3 hours isn't fun since that requires finding more privacy than just nursing her.
If you're not going to be walking a lot (taking lots to cabs or renting a car) just take the car seat and ergo, a seat is lighter than a stroller to lug up and down stairs etc.
E's now almost 9 months and BF and I couldn't see leaving her for that long.
