Thanks Christine! You won’t regret taking the kids — it might feel like you’ve got less freedom, but you also end up with a lot more doors open to you. The rest of the world might ignore a couple of guidebook-toting Westerners, but a baby is something everyone can connect with.

These are great tips! If I ever have kids, they are coming traveling with me and I’ll be sure to keep these in mind.

Yeah, well the lobby looks sort of weird by day, but those couches were actually surprisingly comfortable. The lobby certainly has a distinct look, though I am not sure it would be fair to call it a brothel … minimalist and chic yes though :)

Anyhow, thanks for including me in the roundup!

Well, Sheila, you know the only reason I did it was to gratuitously drop photos of my baby into the public eye, and to show Tim that you taught me well and I can now integrate pictures without messing up the blog! Yay!

Debbie, thank you so much! I really like your site, too. I think I’m going to have to follow up this post with one about other resources, including yours and Have Baby Will Travel. I’m completely with you on the lack of cool travel resources for people who aren’t young, single, and predominantly male.

And thank you for the tip about sleeping! I’d completely forgotten about that part, but my husband and I bickered about it in whispers during the times John was sleeping. Me: “Gotta nurse him, gotta nurse him, or the pressure won’t change and his head will explode.” My husband, with his cool head and Ph.D. in physics: “You don’t know what you’re talking about. He’s fine. Shut up. Look, he’s happy. Don’t wake him.” He was right, of course.

Pacifier’s another good one. I’ve also heard some mums recommend chewing gum, which does the trick but I don’t think you can apply it to babies!
