Hi Gumi,
It really depends what you wanna do for your holiday and who're going with you.
A lot of my friends travelled to Desaru and Malacca as their first trips to test water. So that they have the energy to handle if their kids get cranky. Their kids were all 9mths when they tried.
My hubby's cousin however has been jetting all over since their son turned 3 mths. They've already been to HK, Korea, Bangkok, Vietnam and malaysia. Their son is now 1 years old and all their trip the grand parents also followed so they had an extra pair of hands.

Hi diymummy
I think for me I got to wait for my boy to turn 1 years' old then i would dare to try. It's really tiring if there are no helper around to take turns to take care of him. Sometimes I'm so lazy of bringing him around S'pore cos there are too many barangs barangs to bring along as we need to rely on public transport. Hope he will not become a "mountain tortoise" due to my laziness :embarrassed:

we're bringing ds to bkk this mid may, by then he will be ard 11.5 mths. actu i think any age shd be okay. if u're wry, can ask ur pd for more advices. cos we also asked pd, and he advised us to let ds take flu vaccines b4 leaving SG, and also he will prescribe him those necessary medications during his last flu vaccines. =)

i prefer to let my child stay home until they can handle outside food w/o having tummy upsets.. we first tried a plane ride to kl.. then to and around australia.. so plane rides were fine.
we also did a ONE day road trip to m'sia.. she was ok.. and we were prepared to entertain her throughout the trip.. however, she was a little tired at the end and was missing her bed.
keep their flu jabs and other jabs current. make sure they get bottled water even if its mineral.. better than having them to drink other countries' tap water. make sure you serve them clean food too. their little stomachs def. not ready for street food.

actually depends if u r taking baby for travel exposure or is he/she just tagging along for ur hol?I notice kids above 4 yrs old remember hols n stuff better so thts a great age to start planning a hol ard their interests.
If its an infant,i think abt 4 months shld be ok as its not tht fragile,able to support own head etc.

my girl's 4 1/2 months and she's going on her first flight holiday tomorrow to HKG! We brought her out of SG for the first time for a 3D2N drive up to Malaysia when she was slightly short of 3 months. She had quite a fun time, looking around at things and not fussy at all. Not as tough as we thought it would be, but lotsa barang barang to bring lucky for me i'm BF-ing her so no milk powder no bottles no sterilization
lucky for me i'm BF-ing her so no milk powder no bottles no sterilization my girl is 19 mths and we juz came back from our bkk trip last weekend. i did not bring stroller and used mim sling instead. luckily she is able to eat other food like noodles, rice and buns so food not much problem. i brought milk powder there too. i see that she really enjoy her trip. but she makes a lot of noise in the plane coz they tend to get bored very fast.
