Babymoon??????

[Aimz]

From the Lilianfels website...

The Babymoon Package at Lilianfels Blue Mountains Resort & Spa offers mums-to-be and their partners the time and services they need for total relaxation and indulgence before the baby is born.

I guess the term is also used as a "before baby" holiday.

Tiggerlinda, we went to Tasmania for 5 nights last November. I was 33 or 34 weeks pregnant from memory. It was wonderful. We hired a car and drove around the whole of Tasmania. I am from Brisbane too!

Crazy! I first read the term in a Kitzinger book, she talks of the babymoon as the all-important bonding and recovery time for the new family after the birth. I had no idea it was being used as a marketing tool too!

They are quick aren't they??? Awww I wanna keep Babymoon as the real thing - not a marketing gimmick......

It makes me laugh anyway - a honeymoon is AFTER the wedding, so the babymoon is AFTER the birth. If it's before the wedding it's a dirty weekend, but maybe they assume you already had one of those if you're knocked up

We are going to Moreton Island for a week. Just laying around on the beach, sounds like absolute bliss! What about Maleny / Montville? It is lovely up there. Or go even further north to Noosa or Eumundi? If you prefer to go south, Kingscliffe or Cabarita are awesome, or even to Byron Bay (my fav!).

Yes they are marketing now, babymoon packages... I always thought it was after... like honeymoon is after the wedding... but they wouldn't make money if they were encouraging you to stay home now would they
