Traveling with babies is a challenge, but so satisfying, too, cos you have your little one with you. You share the joy of your travels w them. It's the mentality... when you are ready to be a parent, actually that's nothing. I've brought my little ones on all my trips since they are 6 mths old up beyond. No babysitters , no kids' club... just us and our babies enjoying happy times together.

Very brave taking Leo on vacation. He did very well and so did his parents! Glad you sorted out his ear infection quickly - it’s very hard to figure out what is wrong but you catching him tugging his ear was a good indicator!

Amazing vlog! It’s lovely to see you going on holiday with baby Leo and not discouraged.

Leo did so well for his first holiday 😊

Hi Amie, So pleased that you had a lovely first family holiday and that Leo (what a cutie!) felt better quickly. Thank you for sharing it with us. We have always travelled abroad with our twins, since they turned 1 years old. It was certainly a different type go holiday (our friends had warned us, lol) but we wouldn't have had it any other way. Great memories that we will always treasure. Xx

[@amb163]

Poor little Leo. :( I've had ear infections all my life (my ears are messed up and I wear aids) and they are never fun. Here's a tip: Run a cloth under hot water (not too hot, obvy), and then ring it out really well. Hold it against the infected ear -- the warmth provides some relief, albeit temporary.

[@21972012145525]

Have you tried garlic? Until recently, whenever I would get eat troubles I would put a little clove of peeled garlic in my ear (like how you’d place an air pod). Really helps. But recently my ears have become more problematic… I miss my non issue ears!

[@fashionismypassiongirl660]

❤❤❤Leo is super adorable! 😁👌🏻It looks like you need another vacation after this one. Vacationing with kids is not the same. Still it’s nice to get away from home and have a change of scenery. Me and my husband never traveled without our 3 kids. We always together everywhere.

Would you mind sharing which airline you flew with? We usually go to Ikos/sani but always struggle with decent flights.

[@ChaseAmie]

We flew British Airways from Gatwick. We actually bought business class tickets since we were nervous about flying with a baby and figured we could use the extra space but the flight was half empty both ways - I think the economy seats had more room than we did haha. There were delays both ends but I think that was more down to the airports than BA. How do you find Sani? To be honest, we didn't love all aspects of Ikos but I've heard really good things about Sani!

Ikos Oceania :) The babysitter was through the hotel - they're the ladies who work at the kids club. I didn't realise babysitting at hotels was a thing to be honest but we met a family out there who use the service every single night of their holiday and they recommended it! We gave it a go and it was fantastic so we ended up using it 3 times :)
