The article reflects on the author's experience as a new parent of twins, detailing how overwhelming the early days made them hesitant to travel. They did not fly until their twins were two, believing it would be too difficult. Upon reflection, the author wishes they had traveled earlier, emphasizing that the babies were more manageable before they could crawl. The nostalgia for simpler times conflicts with the missed opportunities of global travel during those formative years, sparking a desire to encourage other new parents to consider flying with infants.
We didn't fly until our twins were 2, but if I could do it again, I'd do things differently. I'd fly with them earlier and push through the challenges of flying with babies.
Just keeping them and ourselves alive was a tall enough order; flying somewhere with our kids...seemed like advanced-level parenting that we were nowhere near ready for.
