MoH at sisters wedding

[DizzySquirrel90]

Hi

I'm currently 36+1, and so thankful and grateful.

I am planning to exclusively BF.

I'm MoH at my sisters wedding 6 weeks after due date. And am slightly concerned about that.

My sister is so excited to have her nephew at her wedding, but in order to be as little inconvenience as possible, does anyone have any tips? Has anyone done something similar?

I can foresee it being a stressful day for myself and my partner

Bump? 🥺

I guess the biggest issue will be your dress. Is it going to be easy to feed in?

With some planning it might not be too stressful

If you are breastfeeding you need a dress that you can feed in and a quiet room that you can go sit in and be alone , quiet and comfortable. Is there a hotel room you could have at he venue? Your DH needs to be on standby to have the baby when you are needed to do MoH things and you need to make sure that you aren't expected to do anything that needs you in a certain place at a certain time (other than the actual ceremony)! So no making a speech or elaborate photos miles away, - it's too much potential stress if the baby is feeding.

And, your sister needs to be warned that much as you want to be a fabulous MoH certain things may be out of your hands. You may be sore from the birth, extremely knackered, a bit weepy and if you need to duck out, she needs to let you.

Good luck! I hope you do have a lovely day.

I attended a wedding with my 6 week old. It was pretty stressful but definitely manageable.

I used a wrap sling, baby slept a lot, I could still hold a drink and it stopped all the drunk people trying to hold him!

A quiet room to feed and take a break would be really useful and hopefully your sister understands that your baby will need alot of attention and you may need to leave early.

Good luck x
