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.
