[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the local dinner, I would try to get a sitter for the kids if you have an established sitter or have your DH stay with the kids.  Pump so the baby has a bottle if they need it.

I would skip the destination wedding. [/quote]

This.

I was a bridesmaid with a 5 week old (and both of us were fully welcomed).  Everyone was so glad I could come. Especially since baby was a 37 weeker so we didn't know until baby was born what things would be like for us.

But I had to breastfeed in the car during the rehearsal dinner.  The restaurant's event space room and airplane style bathroom were unsuitable for nursing privacy.  My toddler and my baby also didn't enjoy the restaurant much.  It was late-ish for them, noisy, and also cold.

I pumped for both kids and would have had no trouble skipping one in-person feeding for an event.

People who don't have their own kids yet usually don't understand anything about kids.  I would not assume your brother hates you and is trying to exclude you.  Maybe he just doesn't want crying kids in the background of his big day.  Figure out a plan to cover the local wedding and leave it at that.[/quote]
