I'm due in and around 28th August (I have PCOS and god knows they have changed my due date often enough for me to feel a bit skeptical!!) and I have been invited to two weddings on 18th September.
Both brides are very good friends of mine, but one wedding in particular is off the cards for me because it's out in the country, long drive away, winding roads etc and it's an all day kind of thing, from 1pm on. The other wedding is much closer, only about half an hour's drive, and it doesn't start until 4pm.
Potentially I will have a 3 week old baby by then, though, and, tbh, I don't know what the protocol is really. Some people have been telling me to just go to the wedding and bring the baby but I know I would never be able to relax the whole afternoon/evening. My mum has offered to take him/her for a few hours and I know the baby would be perfectly safe and well looked after but what about feeding? I'm hoping to breastfeed (tho I'll have to see how it works out first) but don't 3 week old babies need fed every 3 hours or so??
Anyway, feel like I really need to RSVP in next couple of weeks just to let her know whether we'll be there or not, even provisionally, but thought I'd get some advice here first. Madness to consider going or madness to feel anchored to being in the house 24/7 when baby will already be maybe 3 weeks old....
