Any suggestions for a honeymoon with what will be a 20month old? It will be in August and there is no real budget as of yet. We want something that resembles the Seychelles/Carribean -esque style honeymoon (relaxing, bit of luxury, dream destination etc.) however are realistic about flight length, weather and the reality of having a 20month old whilst attempting to sip cocktails/have couples massages/scuba dive etc! My parents could probably be persuaded to come with us to do some babysitting whilst we're over there (although my mum is very much "you surely don't want your parents on your honeymoon...!").
My fiance will be going to university in the September and once he qualifies we will be trying for a 2nd baby and so now is really the only time we can go, unless we postpone for another 5+ years!
Thanks x

No idea on destination, but where ever it may be, could you parents come out with you for a week and then take the little one back with them, to let you and your husband have the relaxing honeymoon you desire?
Looking forward to becoming the 3rd and last Mrs McLauchlan

I am hoping to still be breastfeeding then so a week away from him wouldn't work :(. I know what I am asking for is probably near impossible but my sort of thought process was that if my parents came they could take him for days out and the odd evening to give us time together without being completely separated? I've read other forums etc and most people say it's not a honeymoon if your child/parents come! That makes me sad as I wouldn't wish our situation was different but I still want to feel we had the "honeymoon" experience!

The Med have some beautiful places, if you go for a 5* luxury resort? Nice short flight and if you go for all inclusive then you don't worry about spending when you get out there. I find I spend far less when on all inclusive x

You could maybe go to a villa for you all and then 2 or 3 of those nights your husband and yourself could go stay in a really nice hotel and spend some alone time? Alternatively you could express enough milk for a week of him being with grandparents, at that age they tend to have the milk for comfort rather than nutrition as they are having regular meals. xx
