To go to a wedding or not?

I took my 1 year old last year to a wedding. I was so concerned that he would be an issue but actually apart from a couple of cries he was absolutely fine. I would have totally convinced myself not to go but I am so glad we did

I just come back from a wedding f with my 14 week old. I had to leave mid ceremony as he pooped himself and was fussing but otherwise he was alright. There was a quiet space and my partner and other family members were just swapping to settle him so he wasn’t getting too overstimulated. Generally I’m actually surprised how well he did. I’m not gonna lie I was very anxious about taking him but I’m glad I did. Perhaps your little one will have a better day.

Do you have somewhere for her to comfortably sleep while there? It could have just been bad luck, that she was being handled while already over tired and then it's difficult to recover from that

I had my 2 year old and 3m old at the time at a kids free wedding they where the only kids as they are the godkids to the people who got married and they wanted them there, i was so stressed and scared they would ruin everything but it went so damn smooth i litrally stressed for nothing they had their moments after the reception but toddler ended up passing out in the pram and baby just slept in the carrier strapped to me.

If its going to be loud then i reccomend baby earmuffs helps them tune out the sounds to get their needed sleep

You got this!

Give it a go. We recently had a big meet up with friends and my LO was a nightmare, really unsettled. We had another event a few days later and he was a different baby. Smiley and babbling away and going to anyone.

If it isn’t going well then you can always leave early. And don’t think of that as failure, see it as you gave it a go and it just didn’t work out this time. But your LO may surprise you.
