PS - never travel Air France. We had a horrible experience with them.

...this is who we usually fly to Europe.

God, I don't know. I do know that every time we travel, D wakes up like 3 or 4 times a night every night until we get home. I hope that does not happen to you.

Enjoy your trip!

We had trouble with booking, check in, boarding and 3 issues with our layover The flight attendants were awesome though!

Well I'm glad you at least had a decent flight then!

And on the sleeping, I'd just try to keep him happy for today and deal with the wakings tomorrow. It's gotta be jet lag.

He does wake up more than usual at the lake house but no up and ready to party. So I'm thinking it's jet lag and I just don't know how to handle it. Watching a movie right now though.

And thank you! The weather is amazing and the old house we are renting is adorable!

I'm so jealous! Make sure you post some pics!

Sorry that you had a bad flight. DD has adjusted pretty well to our time difference. I have just been nursing her back to sleep whenever she wakes up at weird times. We did a little CIO the first two nights at bedtime, but she's been so exhausted because we've been going, going, going all the time. We've tried to just be flexible with naps when we can. Good luck!

We just got back and I've just been getting up with him. Though if I were smart I think I should not let him cio but just sit with him in a dark room so that he gets the idea it's not party time.

For jet lag, it's best to get him in the sun and outside as much as possible. DS has always adjusted best going west to east rather than east to west. It usually takes him a day to get in the right time zone. When he wakes ready to party, we either let him CIO or go in and rick him quietly. Make the room as dark as possible so there is no confusion between night and day.

Enjoy your trip!!

This is what we do. I know DH is terrible with jetlag, so I can't expect a baby to adjust immediately either.
