Two years ago our original wedding got cancelled a week before due to covid. Now husband and I still had a ceremony and got married, 5 months after we tied the knot I was pregnant! Fast forward 2 years later We finally get to celebrate our wedding as we had originally planned with friends and family but we now have a 10mo old. I am nervous bc I feel like I will have to be caring for her the entire day instead of enjoying our wedding. I love her so much. It’s not that but I don’t think anyone imagines caring for a baby at their wedding. I’ve thought about hiring someone to help watch her that day but I’m afraid my baby will have separation anxiety anyway. I don’t exactly want my guest to have to feed and change diapers so I am hesitant to ask family or friends at the wedding for help. Anyone you know or you been in this situation? Husband and I also live cross country from all of my family so it’s not like she’s used to any of them either :/

I don’t have kids but you shouldn’t feel guilty hiring a trusted sitter. At her age she won’t even remember it. You deserve to enjoy your day! Having someone watch her doesn’t diminish your love for her in anyway

Completely agree. I would hire a sitter to stay home with her, at least for the reception, so that you (and your guests) can enjoy your celebration.

Do you have a nanny or a sitter that you use on a normal basis or for date nights?

A sitter at the wedding is fine, especially if they both can be nearby to you most of the time. Have the sitter spend a couple “sessions” with her in advance, with you around and then not, so she gets used to them. All your family and friends will be there and they all want to help— I promise you! My niece was about 11 months at her parents’ wedding and I was totally psyched to help and take on any baby tasks that day but I barely got my hands on her 🤣. A sitter plus the break of family and friends down to step in and help and you shouldn’t have to worry about much! If she’s happy with the crowd she can hang out, if she’s not loving it, the sitter can take her away where she can chill out in a more relaxed environment

If most of your guests are family and friends I bet some of them will be thrilled to get some sweet time with your little one and having a sitter on hand to would be helpful too. Enjoy your special day!!

I would definitely have someone at the wedding who's only job is to care for your daughter, and can take her home if she gets too fussy or is bedtime. Nothing wrong with wanting this day to be just for you and your husband
