Wedding and breastfeeding?

I'm getting married tomorrow. I'm 3 months pp. I breastfeed my baby. I won't be able to do so tomorrow. I'll be taking pre pumped milk for him, but worried about myself. If I don't pump or feed for 8-10 hours, I'll get engorged. Is there any workaround?

is it possible you could go to the bathroom and do a quick little hand express if you get engorged? maybe even bring a spare bottle to express into? oh and breast pads just in case of leakage x

Breast pads is a good idea! I've asked the venue for a private room, may pump there. Thanks for your suggestions

Help!

Just had baby and it's our first night home. An older nurse in the hospital told us to always be able to see his face in case he silently chokes. He is being breastfed and we actively burp him when he cries, etc. This freaked me out and is making us sleep in shifts even though we're both exhausted.

How would you respond?

So my husband has made comments before about going out and finding a hookup to have anal with since I dont like it and i always just said ok knowing he wasn't going to do it.

Tonight he brought it up in all seriousness and asked me about it like if it was something id actually be okay with... and it kinda threw me off but like, ok.. i dont want you hooking up alone, but like I'd be down for a 3some?

Just not expecting this tonight and idk how to respond or what to even think about this.. thoughts? (Please be nice, im also 26w preg and overly emotional)

Please help…

My daughter is 16 months old nearly. She’s always been a bad sleeper! I managed to get her into a routine off tea, bath, book, bottle, bed for 8pm most nights.

In the day at nursery she has 1 nap being 12:25-2:15 making bedtime around 7:45-8pm. Which worked for so long.

She’s now having 2 maybe 3 naps ( yes I know she shouldn’t be / doesn’t need to be but sometimes I’m too tired to even fight keeping her up)

Yesterday she napped 3 times being 8:45-9:30, 11:10-12:50, then 4:30-5:25 yes late I know. As she was up at 4:25 yesterday morning!

I kept to the same routine, put her to bed at 9. She didn’t fall asleep until 9:42, took all that time to settle her as now she doesn’t have a bottle at bedtime as she never drinks them!
But again this morning woke up at 4:25.

What can I do to keep her to stay asleep past 6-6:30 each morning?
As she used to wake up between 6:45-7:30 every morning sleeping 9-10.5 hours each night but it’s suddenly dropped to around 6-6.5 hours so she’s exhausted quicker in the day!

Please help! One exhausted mumma 🫩🥱

Sleep

I’m honestly such a heavy sleeper and struggle to wake up if I haven’t had a good 6hr sleep. Im sure it will, but a part of me is so so worried this won’t change when my baby is here. was anyone else the same yet managed to adjust?
