Re: Opinions? No baby at a baby sprinkle?
I EBF'd DD and faced a very similar situation for a shower when she was 3.5 months old. I called the host to explain and she said the rule stands, come alone or don't come. I have to say I was a bit offended but this was my best friend's shower.
I didn't pump often, barely at all so that wasn't an option.
I nursed DD, arrived 1/2 hour late and left before cake was served. It was the best I could do a I had a 45 minute ride each way.

I think their party, their rules.
They don't want kids there, they don't want kids there, period. If you aren't comfortable being away from DC, they should understand if you decline.

I was told to leave baby with Dad, I said Dad would be the birthday celebration of our other godson and as such, I would not attend.
I'm confused - so your invite says adults only and now your telling them that dh would be at his godsons birthday celebration - if thats a kids birthday then its not adults only there...
Baby's may not be disruptive but they may cry alot.Maybe the mom to be craves attention and doesn't want to compete for it. I guess cause I pumped I don't understand what the big deal is leaving a bottle with dh, or other family to watch ds and have a nice afternoon out.

Re: Opinions? No baby at a baby sprinkle?
Two of my close friends are expecting their first 2 months after I'm due. They live in NY and I live in CT. I'm planning on EBFing. If I'm able to make it to their showers, I'd like to bring my newborn. It will be much easier than worrying about pumping and not being away from the baby for too long. I think EBF babies are very different than toddlers. I wouldn't bring my older child to a shower.
