So it may be a few months off but at the end of Sept my best friend is having her bachlorette party. I am obligated to go because i am her maitron of honor but i seriously dont know what i am gonna do about Seven. I do not want to give her a bottle but i cant very well bring my 6 month old into a bar. I mean MAYBE she'll be sleeping from 8 or 9 till the morning but who knows. Right now she is sleeping from like 11 to 5 or 6. I just really dont know what to do, i talked to my BF about it but she just doesnt understand why i cant pump and have hubs give her bottle. I just dont want too, i dont want to give her a bottle why cant people just understand that

 

 

Peace, love and light,

Alyssa

When most people seem happy with their circumstances, the discontent of a minority can easily be dismissed. The history of the world shows the vast majority, in every generation, passively accept the conditions into which they are born, while those who demand larger liberties are ever a small, ostracized minority, whose claims are ridiculed and ignored. - "Well Behaved Women Seldom Make History"

Well personally I cant understand it (probably because Cheyanne is bottle fed) but IMO its not for anyone to understand, just respect. No one has to understand why you choose to parent how you do, but I'll be damned if they don't respect it, KWIM?

September is a long time away, maybe by that time you will have changed your mind, or she will develop different sleeping habits....I agree with not wanting to take a baby in a bar. I had some friend go to a benifit banquet this weekend in a bar and they called begging me to go. I don't care how classy this banquet was, it was still in a bar and although im about as redneck as the day is long I can't really bring myself to take her to a damn bar. I went to a bar when I was 8 months pregnant and felt so damn tacky. Just my personal preferances and decisions though.

I guess the only advice I have is to go with the flow and when September gets a little bit closer review the situation and try to decide then. And let your friend know that you value your parenting decisions over her bridezilla needs. (Not trying to make her out to be a bridezilla, but IMO if she doesn't come to respect your decisions and still wants to pressure you into doing something you don't want to do just to make her happy then that will be very bridezilla.)

Have your DH bring her to you when it's time for a feeding.  Just step outside to feed her-- maybe in the car or wherever else is convenient.

My DD was taking a sippy cup already at 6 months. Have you thought of giving her your BM in a cup?
