Taking newborn along to 5 year olds birthday party

We have a five year old and are expecting a baby in the next couple of weeks. My five year old has a lot of parties to attend on weekends and DH works weekends. Other parents have offered to take her but she would rather I did and I think I would like to try. Are there any mums of two out there who have walked this path already who can tell me if this is realistic or not? I was thinking maybe I could take newborn in the baby carrier and feed on demand throughout the parties? Or in reality is this going to be too hard to manage?

Yes thats a totally normal thing to do. Baby wont be expecting to join in or take a party bag. There will likely be other mums there with their babies too.

I took baby to parties my 5yo attended. It was fine. Some of them were so loud though I did use ear defenders for baby (she wasnt newborn at the time)

Not even slightly an issue. I would and have done this without even thinking about it.
