Are you bringing your LO to any weddings this fall??
I have 4 weddings coming up soon! My DD will be between 5 1/2 and 6 1/2 months at the time, and we are trying to figure out if we should bring her...to the ceremonies- to part of the receptions- or not at all. 3 of the weddings are for friends. My IL are watching her for one and my parents for another, and I think they are pretty flexible with however we want to do things... the other two we still are looking for babysitters to help out (eeek!).
It makes it more challenging because I am a bridesmaid in one and a personal attendant in another. Since we have yet to start child care, and I am home with my daughter until late August I cannot imagine being away from her for so long on the weekend... since I will be back to work and therefore away from her all day at that point 
Oh, and then there is breastfeeding and pumping! How do you even do that when you are gone all day anyway? Eeek!
Any thoughts or advice? TIA

After two losses, third time was a charm.

We have one in September that is an 8 hour drive from where we live, so we have to bring DS. And this will be the first time he meets most of DH's family. Fortunately the couple getting married just had a little girl in March, and they have made it very clear that children are welcome.
As for the pumping/breastfeeding thing, I know we have a refridgerator in our hotel room, so that eased my mind. I know he will be getting a few bottles here and there, as my MIL will be with him a lot during the weekend. It is going to be kind of a pain, but luckily the wedding/reception is in our hotel, so if I need to pump I can just go up to our room.
Ah, of course...great idea! That would definitely make me feel better. I will get on that right away, thanks
Wow, an 8 hour drive doesn't sound fun. That is good that your MIL will be there to help and the pumping situation should be good
We only have an hour drive; however, both my parents and ILs will be there so we don't know who to ask to babysit... Good luck to you!
I would say it depends on the time of the weddings and when your LO tends to break down. I know that come 730 pm Els is done for the night, she is ready for her bedtime routine and to go to bed. If we are somewhere new and exciting that may extend to 8 pm. So if we were invited to an evening wedding I would find a sitter, but if it was a morning or afternoon wedding and the baby was welcome I would bring her.
yes, i am a bridesmaid in my sisters wedding late november. but it's at my parents' house and dh will be there and i can't bf anymore so we are covered.
