Breastfeeding at a Wedding

Posted by Diva on July 15th, 2009

I was browsing the web and came across a story of a woman who was offended because someone decided that they only wanted the woman’s husband at the wedding. The reason was because the woman breastfeeds and the couple thought that would be a distraction. They just didn’t want her nursing her baby at their wedding.

Upon reading that, several questions pop out in my mind, like are you one of those women who has no modesty about it and makes breastfeeding a political statement, as opposed to the way you feed your baby. But still, I don’t know how I feel about the issue at hand.

At least they were honest about it….but still it seems kind of silly.

What do you all think?

Her wedding, her choice. Don’t like it, don’t go.

personally, if someone did this to me two things would happen:

1/ My Husband would NOT go to their wedding without me.

2/I would never speak to this person, whether they are family or not, EVER AGAIN. Anyone that is such a bitch that they ban someone for breastfeeding deserves to be publicly horsewhipped. WHAT A BITCH.

Yes it’s her wedding - but inviting half of a married couple? SO RUDE no matter what the excuse! If you are worried about breastfeeding - invite the couple sans baby. The couple will either decline - or come without baby - either way there isn’t a problem. But inviting a husband and not his wife is horribly tacky and kind of ionic considering it’s a celebrate of a marriage where “two become one”.

Inviting only the husband is a little extreme- and kind of weird. I can see how some people could be offended by public breastfeeding, but honey, there are ways to politely let the person know you would prefer if they left the baby with a sitter, or breastfed discreetly.
