Simone, I am not criticizing or anything, but I would not bring an 3 mo old infant into a situation like this. There are just so many things that can happen and you are so far from any medical help. I know a lot of people do it but I would strongly advise against it. Not only is it a much higher risk for the infant than an adult, or even a child, it also creates a higher risk for yourself.
3 mo olds are very delicate. Consider this, if something happened and the child got hurt seriously or even died, can you imagine the field day the press would have with it? I can imagine some stories that could portray you in a much different light than the loving caring parent you almost certainly are. Malcolm On Sun, Apr 8, 2012 at 11:56 AM, David M.
