Breastfeeding

I have a wedding this weekend and I’m currently exclusively breast feeding. Unfortunately kids aren’t allowed to the wedding so I’m trying to think of what’s best for my little boy. To pump or to offer formula and breast milk. He can be a little reluctant at times with bottles but will take it.
Any suggestions? 🙏
I’m also worried about what this could do to my supply

What do I do

My mum has been ignoring me since I was 1 week postpartum because she was upset I didn't use her name for our newborn. It's been over 2 weeks she hasn't spoken to me and now she's randomly messaged me asking how I am. No acknowledgement at all that she's just ghosted me through probably the most difficult 2 weeks of my life? Just a casual "hi how are you doing? xx" Like??? Do I even reply? What do I say? Do I just pretend she didn't have a full blown temper tantrum? Do I just keep doing this over and over again?

Rear facing until what age?

I’m in 2 minds about whether to continue rear facing or switch to forward facing.

My daughter is 2.5 years old. I’m looking to get a car seat similar to pic below (big, comfortable and long lasting). We probably wouldn’t be using until she’s closer to 3 as she’s got a good couple months left in her current.

I’ve always wanted to rear face as long as possible but she’s got long legs and tbh, even though it’s recommended, I’m just not sure how it’s comfortable? She’s all bent up 😂

First time mum though, so I have no idea… opinions and thoughts? X

Surrogate mothers

This is a random question that I was generally just curious about the other day and I figured someone here would have the answer... but after surrogate mothers give birth, do they produce breast milk? What happens next with that? Do they pump and keep giving it to the parents of the baby? If not do they have to pump until it dries up so they don't keep getting engorged? Maybe they donate it or sell it? I don't ever plan on being a surrogate but I was just generally curious about this lol

Fashion babes help me in the comments 😭

I’m buying a bag for holiday, I’ve decided to splurge on just one and then maybe buy another 2 cheap ones as back up.

Problem is I’m indecisive 🫠 I’ve managed to narrow it down from 13 to 4 bags but I still can’t choose
