    Teddy is so cute! Hotel employee here. Yeah, we don't want you to leave your baby alone in a room with just a monitor, even if the restaurant is really close. :)

    Looks amazing! We have a 5 month old and thinking about Japan too. A little scared. Curious if you are willing to share how was the sleep transition upon coming home after giving into the co-sleeping?

      It took him about a week and a half to adjust back to his normal schedule ! He’s now back in his own room, in his crib, sleeping 12 hrs a night 😌 so happy lol

    Teddy is soooo adorable! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re planning to make a similar trip once our baby turns 6-8m old. I had a few questions!
    1. Was Teddy able to adjust back to his 10-12 hour nighttime sleep once he got home?
    2. What do you wish you brought and what would you have left at home?
    3. Did you find it challenging to find places to eat that were kid friendly? Did you use any resources to help check beforehand if restaurants were accommodating?
    4. If you were to do it all over again would you have shortened the trip/stayed longer/kept it the same?
    Thank you!!!

      Hi !!
      1. Yes, he was! It took him about a week and a half to adjust back to his normal schedule. He would have trouble staying asleep in the beginning, but eventually adjusted and is back to sleeping 12 hrs a night!
      2. I honestly felt like I had everything I needed. Towards the end, we ran out of diapers and had to buy a huge pack there and ended up having the pack all these extra diapers home, so maybe just a few more days worth of diapers wouldve been helpful.
      3. Only one restaurant turned us away and said no kids, but we didn't have too much trouble for the most part. Some restaurants are pretty small, so they ask you to leave your stroller outside. It's so safe there, so no one would steal it. We would just have to old Teddy in our laps while we ate, or he would lay down if we had booth seating.
      4. If I were to do it all over again, I would've maybe done one week. I was pretty home sick by the end of the first week. That was also my 5th time in Japan. I think 1 week or maybe 10 days would've been good for me.

    I’m planning on traveling to Japan soon with a 4month old, almost 3 yr old and 6 yr old. Would you recommend taking car seats if we’ll be mostly using public transportation and I plan on taking our double stroller but will need to get a new one since all we have is a side by side and I know it might not fit through doorways etc.

    Did you guys rent a car if you brought a car seat? If not, how was navigating the subway with a stroller?

    • @FrancisLola
      @FrancisLola  Рік тому +1

      No, we didn’t rent a car but definitely took a taxi a few times in the city and also to and from the airport ! The Doona stroller/car seat was PERFECT for this trip. It’s nice and small, and when we couldn’t find an elevator, we adjusted the handle bar straight up and each grabbed one side and carried it up or down the stairs. OR, one of us would carry him and the other would take the stroller up/down. It was great !
