3-6 month passport expiration rule for Mexico

My family is going to Cabo in 3 weeks for a 1 week vacation.  My young daughter's passport expires 7 weeks after we return. Can anyone confirm that the 3-6 passport expiration rule is not in effect for Mexico?  I have checked all relevant sites and it says passport just has to be valid for traveling to Mexico.  Please advise, thanks!

Hi!

Curious to a follow up from your trip. Did you have any issues with the passport?

I will be going to Mexico on Southwest in a few weeks, and my passport expires in January. I don't want to get a new passport because I will be changing my name. Would be great to hear your story!

Hello, Following up on your trip. Did you have any issues flying to Mexico with a passport valid under 6 months? I'm traveling in a couple of days and my passport expires in April.
