ok basically my daughters aunt is here in minnesota with us. she is flying back to philly sunday. she offered to take my child with her for 2 weeks. . that way she can meet all her other family members. its not my daughters safety im worried about being though she is with family. My worries are 1) am i gonna miss out on anything during those two weeks? 2) is 2 months old too young for my baby to be seperated from both parents??

My personal preference would be to either take baby and go with for a week or so, OR gracefully decline and set another time when you are more rested and baby is older and you have time available to take the trip yourself.
To add to my previous post, no one should expect you to travel with a newborn, or expect the newborn to travel w/o you. There is no reason a 2 month old needs to meet her relatives. She will have no memory and no clue. Anyone close enough to you will come to you, or at least wait until the baby is older and easier to travel with. I'm not even sure a doctor would recommend travel for such a young baby.
OH NO ! Don't do it. I think you will regret it forever. Who needs to meet anybody at 2 months. If you are tired and in need of a break, hire somebody to help you out. I think you will regret it for the rest of your life if you separate from your child this young. These are precious moments of bonding between mother and child---not aunt and child.
I agree. If you think about it, two weeks is a significant portion of her whole life. She hasn't been around very long! She needs to get to know you and her father much more than she needs to "meet" her relatives. It was a sweet idea, but I don't think now is the time.
