Baby etiquette

Hi I've been invited to my friend's wedding, along with my partner and our little girl. Please could you give me some advice re etiquette. Daughter will be 7 months

I was thinking of myself going to the ceremony then meeting my partner and daughter at the reception (to avoid her fussing/needing feeding during the vows!)
Does that sound OK or does it sound weird.

I've bought a dress that is breastfeeding friendly - when is appropriate to feed? Etc.
Thanks from a clueless and anxious mum 🙂

When I went to SILs wedding when dd was 8 months old, I sat in back row in church so I could make a quick run for it if she made any noise 😅

Also you could always then stand/ walk round with her at the back of the church

We’ve got babies and toddlers coming to ours. I’m happy for the parents to do whatever they think best! I think they’re all coming to the church but expect will sit where they can exit if needed. I think feeding anywhere is fine. I wouldn’t mind if you came alone to the ceremony if easiest and baby later. I honestly think just do what works for you and you feel comfortable doing

I took mine as babies to weddings. Fed them during the ceremony and speeches as I recall, whenever they needed it. And we were both there with DC throughout. If they'd needed taking out one of would have done so but you don't need to start from a viewpoint of out being the default or that you need to go somewhere else to feed.
