Is it acceptable to go on a honeymoon after you have children?
If you get married AFTER you have children, should you go on a honeymoon? My boyfriend and I are expecting now and are not married. He wants to get married after the baby is born. I think that sounds alright, but then we won't be able to have a proper honeymoon, right? We can't just leave the baby somewhere and if we take the baby with us then it won't be us "getting away" to be together. What do you think?

You should definitely have a honeymoon. It's not just for newly weds without kids. What's a proper honeymoon anyway. It's for every lovers who wants and needs to take time away to be able to rekindle things and enjoy each others company. It would be a good chance for both of you to show how much you care and love one another. It's a perfect way to have and make an unforgettable memory/experience of your affectionate closeness.
Leave your bundle of joy with someone you can truly trust in order for you to have a worry-free honeymoon.
I wish you good luck!

I think you should definitely have a honeymoon, especially if this will be the first marriage for both of you. It would be totally fine and acceptable for you to leave your child with either set of grandparents long enough for you two to get away a couple days (providing that the baby is at least a few months old). If you put it off and say "we'll just do it later on" it will never happen. This may be the only chance you ever get at having one because for the next 18yrs or so your top priority will be providing for your child and its needs. On the other hand--if it's not really of dire importance whether you have one or not, then don't worry about it because it's not something thats required.

leave your child with someone you absolutely positively trust!!! even if its just one night all newlyweds deserve a honeymoon... its not just about the sex its about the intimacy of knowing that no matter what happens that one other person is your only person for the rest of your lives. its about so much more then sex

Depends on when you go. How old will your child be. Honestly Im 18 my husbands 22 we both have children from previous relationships and are expecting we got married back in august we plan on taking a honeymoon next year and dont feell guilty if you go on a honeymoon that is husbands and your time together celebrate that you will spend the rest of your life together.

Of course it's ok to take a honeymoon at any time you feel it fits your schedule. I have a friend who took their honeymoon on their 10 year anniversary for similar reasons to yours.
You're right, you can't just leave the baby just anywhere, but if you have adoring grandparents in the picture, who would LOVE to take care of the baby while you are away, do so without guilt. You can make your feeding arrangements accordingly and will probably need to supplement with formula (vs. breastmilk) but you could look up solutions if you want breastmilk to be the sole nutrition. In fact, it's arguably easier to leave an infant with adoring grandparents than any other age - they pretty much lay there all day, drink from a bottle, get tickled a bunch, get their diaper changed, nap a lot, and they don't move around! If your parents are in good shape and can handle it, they are surely qualified to have the baby with them - after all, they took care of you very well, right?
