Could be you are not that maternal because your parents weren't that ma/paternal either especially if they were so cavalier about keeping you close when you were an infant. The first 6 mos are critical parental bonding moments and even decide how intelligent the child will be. Babys that are not loved enough while newborns NEVER develop in the same way as those that were will.

I am not a super touchy feely person. Even I agree with this.

Well wait. I have no knowledge of the intelligence claim.

Too young, IMO....unless you're dealing with PPD.

It is still too young! If she is dealing with PPD she needs to get help for that, not send the baby away.

My worries are 1) am i gonna miss out on anything during those two weeks? 2) is 2 months old too young for my baby to be seperated from both parents??
I think if you have to ask...then (sadly in my opinion) for you I guess it's not....You SHOULD be worried about your daughters safety...she is very young...no matter that she is with your family....YOU are the one she knows best....I also don't think flying with an infant(breathing all that "recycled air") can be good for her....she may be exposed to virus's...and her little immune system is still developing.

Too young...the air pressure alone will make the baby scream and suffer...not to mention the other
people on the flight!

Please, please don't let the aunt take the baby away from you.

There are so many reasons why it is wrong. Just reread the previous posts.

well, tomorrow is Sunday and I'm curious what you have decided to do? Are you letting your baby go with the Aunt? How did you make up your mind one way or the other? For me personally, it would never happen in a billion years for multiple reasons. Then again, I don't like being away from my kids now for more than a few days and they're 15, 12 and 8. I can't even imagine sending off my 2 month old. That doesn't make me right and you wrong. I'm wondering what you're going to do?

To be honest, she's too young to care. She's likely bonded to your aunt so travelling with her should not be an issue. My concern would be how the separation would affect you and your bond to your baby. At 2 months, you're really just figuring your baby out. A two week break could send you right back to square one.
