...to take 4 mo baby on glamping hen do?

[TomBowler]

I am MoH and bride asked me before I got pregnant but she knew we were TTC. I have offered to step down.

Baby is EBF. I don't pump and haven't tried a bottle. Not totally against it though.

Would be arriving on campsite Fri afternoon. I would boob DD to sleep about 7ish. Deploy video monitor (our group has excl use of campsite and DD and I have own tent). Return to group for silly games.

Saturday morning breakfast and It's A Knockout. Lunch. Saturday afternoon outdoorsy activity I wouldn't be able to do (pelvic floor, say no more) so will chill at campsite. Sat evening boob DD to sleep and Butler In The Buff coming to serve cocktails and not games.

Sun morning breakfast in farm shop.

I think the weekend should be about adult fun and focused on the bride. A baby will inevitably change that dynamic and some of the women will likely be cooing over your baby (rightly so as i'm sure she's totally adorable) and take some of the focus off the bride and the things you're all doing. I don't think you are unreasonable in asking advice and i understand you wanting to go as you are MoH. Only you can make the decision but personally i would stay at home. You have to do what you think is best for the bride/hen group, you and your baby. I'm sure if you do decide not to go the bride will understand and may even be relieved (but not say that to you) that there will not be a baby at her hen weekend. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Also depends if you’re the type of person who likes to talk to your baby a lot. While this is generally a good thing for mum and baby it is tedious as fuck to listen to while you’re trying to have adult conversation. Even if you don’t Other guests will feel obliged to constantly acknowledge and admire your baby. I’d get baby on a bottle, Dad on standby and dip in and out as you can

Does anyone else really hate the phrase 'boob baby to sleep'

Me

Gg no.

I think it's ridiculous to even think of taking a 4 month old baby to such a thing.
