Travelling with a baby/child at any age is easy if you have (1) the right
child and (2) the right attitude.  We (hubby and I) travelled by train
across Europe and then to Egypt, camping every night, with a child aged
10-11.5 months.  She rode all day every day in a backpack, looking at the
world.  We had to take diapers, and a few toys/books, but no formula or
bottles.  ;)  She ate whatever we did at restaurants -- although she did
take a bite out of a water glass in Italy once.

We took her to Mali when she was 15 months, and lived there for 2 years.

I suspect that the parents who want to leave the 2.5 month old behind for a
four day trip to London don't WANT to take the baby with them.  :(
