Let me share with you re my recent trips with hb when he was on working trip. We were supposed to go for 4 trips, Bangkok, Beijing, Sydney and Seoul. We brought Gerald to BKK and my parents went with us, but staying in another hotel. So, they helped me in the day when my hb was working. When shopping, my mum and I have to take turns to carry him, coz he hates the pram. Then, when he sleeps, we'll put him down. Hb's schedule was very hectic, so most times he was not ard. Even though my parents was with us, I was still quite tired, coz Gerald was a fussy eater and everynite after putting Gerald to sleep, I've to wash and steralise all his bottles, plus cook porr for him then take my shower. I used the Tiger food jar to cook plain porr and gv Pigeon fish, etc.
For Sydney, we were supposed to bring Ger with us. But, last min no ticket on my hb's flight, so I didnt dare to take a 6hr flight alone with Ger. So, I was v torn whether to bring him. In the end, we didnt bring him.
The other 2 trips were Seoul and Beijing which we decided not to bring him coz it's less than 5deg then.
Conclusion: We missed him like mad, but we had a chance to spend couple time alone, doing things which we will not be able to do. If I had brought Gerald to Sydney, I would be pretty tired looking after him alone in the day and feeding him (it's a nightmare, coz he's a very fussy eater). For the 3 trips which Ger didnt go, I had time to watch TV in the room, go shopping, swimming, etc. and basically R&R, though I miss him v badly. I think if it's above 15 deg, shld be fine. I have some thick rompers and sweaters, I could lend them to you if you decide to bring Dylan.
But, must be prepared to prep Dylan's meals and also look after him alone all the time. I guess we mummies can take it, just choose between spending couple time and relaxing, vs having Dylan with you and being tired at times.
Pardon me, for the long-winded posting. It reminded me of my trips and emotions at that time. Haha...
