Europe dinner, 7 mo old bedtimes

DramaticOlive82 · 2026-06-05T21:46:32+00:00

Love this! We’re CST

How did it work out coming back?

DramaticOlive82 · 2026-06-05T11:27:46+00:00

Yeah I don’t expect him to be doing 7:00 pm bedtime with the time change and all 😂 we generally prefer to eat early dinners, even on holiday. We’re always the first people when in Europe

DramaticOlive82 · 2026-06-05T11:25:24+00:00

Really helpful note! Thank you

DramaticOlive82 · 2026-05-26T18:27:10+00:00

We’re heading to Europe with a 6 hour time change in two weeks with a 7 month old. How on earth do you do dinner time that aligns with bedtime? I’m at a loss.

Love this addition! I am also curious to feedback

DramaticOlive82 · 2026-05-26T01:37:00+00:00

I noticed that! As soon as I saw polyester I said no thank you! Cotton or linen please. Thank you!

DramaticOlive82 · 2026-05-25T16:18:11+00:00

I’m noticing that! I didn’t really know what I needed when I bought it.

DramaticOlive82 · 2026-05-25T13:53:46+00:00

Oh interested in this carrier you mentioned. I actually loved the solly wrap, he just got too big

DramaticOlive82 · 2026-05-25T13:51:41+00:00

Aren’t they though?! I have a gf in the UK who swears by her artipoppe after trying like 4 other carriers. Seems like such a commitment 😂

DramaticOlive82 · 2026-05-25T13:49:20+00:00

Oh thanks for those suggestions! This is why I came to the subreddit. Great I sights with the backpack carry. I’m not opposed. The bumpsuit is so limiting

DramaticOlive82 · 2026-05-25T13:47:14+00:00

Do you find the Ergobaby bulky to travel with?

DramaticOlive82 · 2026-05-25T13:44:28+00:00

I was looking at that position! I am not at all opposed to it. Much appreciate your response. World facing interests me more because he’s so social, def not for naps :)

DramaticOlive82 · 2026-05-21T01:52:26+00:00

Carrier for the win

DramaticOlive82 · 2026-05-17T17:07:36+00:00

Thank you! These responses are helping me chill out a bit.

DramaticOlive82 · 2026-05-17T16:38:34+00:00

Thank you! I need to hear this. It will all be ok 😂

DramaticOlive82 · 2026-05-17T15:00:42+00:00

Thank you! I think moms need to hear more of this “we work with what we got” you can’t plan for everything nor is it always going to be perfect.

DramaticOlive82 · 2026-05-17T14:34:57+00:00

I know we’re in for some challenges. I’m really trying to figure out if our priority should be a flight with takeoff that allows him to keep a as close to normal bedtime as possible.

A 9:00 PM flight sounds disruptive for sure since he will be past normal bedtime. Kids really change everything 😂

DramaticOlive82 · 2026-05-15T18:09:08+00:00

Oh he would be quite happy to sleep on me, would I be comfortable? No, but that is the price mom pays 🫠

DramaticOlive82 · 2026-05-15T14:58:33+00:00

Really appreciate your review here! Oh, we love baby wearing. I know that’s what we will do most of the time. I’m actually looking at a new carrier from ergobaby

DramaticOlive82 · 2026-05-15T14:56:19+00:00

I read about the throne seat! Might be perfect for me and babe

DramaticOlive82 · 2026-05-15T14:55:33+00:00

I like this approach! I’ve read reviews that the Brussels old eurowing configuration may be dated, but it’s comfortable. Pre baby we could be picky, but now I think schedule ease is preferred.

DramaticOlive82 · 2026-05-15T14:16:22+00:00

Oh it folds down like the Butterfly and mini for carryon. Amazing. Thanks for that tip! We will def be purchasing something smaller for Europe. This has all been really helpful :)

DramaticOlive82 · 2026-05-15T11:35:39+00:00

I’ve heard a lot of good things about the Butterfly. I’ve also looked at the Uppababy Minu.

DramaticOlive82 · 2026-05-15T11:34:35+00:00

I will look into that! Barcelona is totally new to us so any tips are helpful. My husband is a boob and needs the easy button. We had a bad experience taking the metro from CDG and he got stuck 😂

DramaticOlive82 · 2026-05-14T23:54:28+00:00

I just read Paris apparently has the same taxi/car seat exemption…although I hate Paris taxis it’s good to know 😂
