Help.... dresses and feeding

[Jen_H]

Has anyone got married when they had a young baby and breastfed??
I am getting married next month and my lo with be about 12 weeks old! She is only breastfed and doesnt take a bottle brilliantly - am hoping she will get better in the next 5 weeks! I was planning on feeding before ceremony and taking her a bottle but at some point i will need to breastfeed her otherwise i will be uncomfortable! Has anyone else been in this situ and what type of dress did u wear?
Am going to have to go into one of the rooms at the hotel to give her a quick feed and probably strip my dress and bra off completely which will be hassel!
Thanks x

might be worth asking your maid of honour to help you out with your dress afterwards, sorry to hear she's not great with the bottle i was lucky that my son was able to take a bottle, when my son was 4weeks old we travelled 8hours on a train back home as he was born when we were on holiday. long story short i hope she can adjust, what type of bottles are your using? that might be the problem? dress which might be worth maybe getting a dress with an elastic top bit in the dress so u can move it around easily.

A removable halter neck might be nice, or so one piece of material crosses over another on the breast, if that makes sense? So you could move it too one side, other option is just to find a quite room and ask a friend to unzip you just at the top. Whatever you decide good luck

Oooo and have you heard of HotMilk Maternity Bras? they look gorgeous nothing like what Id imagine maternity bras to look like, matching underwear and everything
