I recently separated from my partner. She now lives with the baby in the Czech Republic, I live in Germany (8 hrs car ride away). She maintains that it is not good for our baby to be 2 weeks (in the summer) away from her in a different environment/country. Any advice whether this is correct?

An 11th month old baby is far too young to be separated from primary caregiver. Baby needs to stay within a known environment. From birth to two yrs old, the connectors in the brain are developing......you dont want to interrupt this process.....it will have a domino effect on your babys devolpment. Dad, I would highly recommend that you accomodate at this point and go to where your childs lives...not have your child travel to you. You may not want to but you must think of your childs needs first before your own.

i agree with her. I think that an 11 month old baby will already suffer separation anxiety from his mother just going away for 2 weeks, let alone to a completely different country. If you want to see your baby, you should make arrangements to see the baby in the Czech Republic.

That is true. Babies are still developing their immune systems so it can be harmful to put them in new environments with new parasites and bacteria. However, where you are only 8 hours away by car, your environments aren't really going to be that different from one another.
I would think the bigger issue would be whether or not you will be taking your baby out in public as that is where most germs are, and that isn't such a good idea until he/she is a few months old.
Another concern is whether or not your baby is breast feeding. This is always preferable as babies get their anitbodies from their mothers through the breast milk. If your baby is not breast fed then he or she will have a lower immune system and will be at higher risk for illness.

I'm a guy, and it's my thinking a baby that small should NOT be away from it's mother. Not to pick on you personally, but in general I read that people in Europe aren't getting married and are just having children. This is very hard on children and is greatly damaging your societies, I think. Children need stability. Consider moving to where your child is and living and working there, if you care about the child anyway.

i haven't heard of an completely breast fed toddler getting constipated formerly. I certainly have heard that some little ones do exactly not choose for numerous days or perhaps weeks at a time and that's purely primary for them. If the stool isn't not elementary, this is not a topic. whether that's (you stated as quickly as he cried) that may not solid. perhaps there is something on your food habitual that he's allergic to (dairy, etc.) it fairly is inflicting the subjects. i might suggesting finding a lactation representative (at a close-by wellbeing facility or la leche league) because of the fact they have the main journey with breast feeding subjects and can desire to have the means to help. solid success.

Wow, this is a tricky one. This is why uncommitted people should not have children. Now your child pays the price, forever. Few couples seem to think of the best thing for the child, they are primarily concerned about what THEY want.
Since the baby is going to be doing this until he or she is old enough to drive his or her self. I suppose you might as well start now.
BUT I THINK IT IS A HORRIBLE WAY TO RAISE A CHILD.
Be totally prepared for a very unhappy baby. Try to duplicate everything the baby is familiar with and ABSOLUTELY the schedule.

So long as the child isn't breast feeding... I don't see a problem... at the same time... maybe having Ma visit with the baby would be more appropriate. after all you two were in love long enough to concieve the child... and should be comfortable enough to remain part of each other... if only for the sake of the child..

hello
Ofcourse you have the right to spend as long time as you can with your baby , but 2 weeks away from his mother in this age would be difficult for your baby .
try to visit him as frequent as you can to keep your face in his mind & not to forget you till he reachs a proper age in which you both can spend longer time alone.
wishing u & ur baby all the best.

i wouldnt leave my baby alone, too. 2 weeks is too much. will you be able to lok after the baby ? clean, bath, toilet, food ? the bebay will miss her/his mother. also, (dont take it personal but) mother attachment is very different, 2 weeks seperation might effect negatively.
