[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here. By the way, I would not attend your wedding if nursing babies weren't allowed. Just a heads up since you're talking about an infant. [/quote]

A 9 month old isn't an infant! Pump if you are nursing. My 9 month old was walking, and would have been asleep by 7  pm. I wouldn't drag him to someone's wedding. [/quote]

Sorry, but your opinion becomes irrelevant when you say a 9 month olld isn't a infant. [/quote]

No. This PP is right. A 9 month-old is different from a two month-old physiologically. It would be hard to tell a nursing mother of a two month-old to come to a long event without the baby. They need to nurse every few hours. (Although I would have been fine leaving the baby with a trusted sitter in a nearby hotel room and just going back to nurse since my baby never took a bottle.) At 9 months, a baby can be left for longer. I may have run back to the room to nurse quickly before bed, but it is not unreasonable for the OP to ask this of her SIL.

Wait until the invitations go out and just say it's an adults only affair. If pressed, give some information about the reception location and local sitters. [/quote]
