Taking our 3/4 month old on Honeymoon - am I delusional?!

[user1468166567]

Hi All,

Fairly new here - not sure why it says User14681 as my name isn't that but anyhoo....

I am currently pregnant with my first DC - due 20th November, we get married end of March so baby will obviously be at wedding etc.

So, two things/questions for all you ladies/men;
Mil to be has already commented on how we are mad to entertain wanting baby in our room with us on the night of the wedding (I am planning to breastfeed all being well) but I don't see what difference it will make - I am not sure we will be having an all night party iykwim but she is insisting on having baby with her...lovely offer but I want my baby with me - am I mad to think this will be OK?! What have others done?

Also we are going on honeymoon the day after - 7nts in Mauritius and 3 in Dubai on way back so flights are 6hrs/7hrs/ etc. - am I mad to consider taking baby? Want baby need me at 3/4 months (depending on when he/she is born?) all my friends/mom etc. say baby will mostly sleep at that age and its a great age to take them away but others are like WHAT ARE YOU CRAZY?! Mil obviously wants baby to stay with her for 10 nights.

How hard are 3/4 month old babies? Tell me honestly what you think!

I got married when my baby was 10 weeks old. I was adamant that I was going to have him that night as he was bf. As it was he was so exhausted from all the dancing with his grandma that he slept most of the evening and most of the night! He had a bottle of formula at midnight (I was bf the rest of the day) and then spent the night with his grandma until she brought him to me at 6am when he woke up.
I just went with it on the day, and it was much easier than I thought it would be.
Good luck
