Stop breastfeeding for my wedding

Hi guys, I really need some advice

I am getting married in July and my mum is having my 1yr old baby overnight who is EBF and fed to sleep. Im feeling a lot of pressure from friends and family to stop breastfeeding and sleep train in time for the wedding so that she will be okay going to sleep at my mums.
To add, my dress means I won’t be able to breastfeed all day either (until early evening).

It’s making me feel super anxious as I don’t want to stop breastfeeding just for the sake of one day but equally I appreciate that mum doesn’t want a sleepless night either. I also think sleep training whilst taking the boob away is just going to make her super sad, and also me.

Has anyone been in a similar situation or have any advice for me?
Thanks 🙏 xx

You don’t need to stop breastfeeding for 1 day. There’s plenty of time you can start pumping and storing for that day. That can be my advice.

I feel you, sometimes times I get anxiety over things that haven’t happened and when things happen they go as smooth as possible. Just give it a try once.

CPS?

Something’s wrong with me. My LG was wailing & crying & screaming & all I did was watch. Didn’t feel like picking her up to comfort her & still don’t.. should I just turn myself in?

Imposter Syndrome

Does anyone else feel like you have imposter syndrome being a mom?

I had my first a couple weeks before I turned 38 and I had already accepted I wouldn't have kids (not by choice).

I remember going to my appointments feeling like I wasn't as pregnant or really pregnant like the other patients in the lobby were. I often catch myself feeling like this isn't my life and I'm playing house my child. I love him so much, but I feel like this just isn't real. He's 15 months so I've had time to come to terms.

Has anyone else felt something like this? How did you get over it?

Brest feeding 6 months plus

Hi. Silly question but how does people navigate Brest feeding when baby gets their teeth? I never made it this far while b feeding my other two so I’m not sure what the next stages will look like.

When to stop C curl and restricted blankets?

May be too soon but just out of interest. When is it safe to no longer sleep in C curl around baby/child? My girl is 10 months but very long and I can no longer do C curl well 😅. Plus her whole bottom half is past my waist now which is where I keep the blanket too.

Nap times

My baby girl is currently 14 weeks old and we have been struggling with naps for a while now. We manage to get her down a few times a day however she does not sleep longer than 30 min.. I know this is the length of a sleep cycle so it is normal but she l never seems to be fully rested especially in the afternoon. She often wakes up looking tired but refuses to go back to sleep, or if I hold her and rock her to sleep there is no way of putting her down again. The evenings are a battle because of it as she gets over tired. Any tips or advise on how to lengthen her naps?
