WWYD? - pumping and going to a wedding
I am exclusively pumping and this Friday I am going to a wedding. I do not know what to do - I usually pump every 3-4 hours and I will have to pump at some point during the night. Should I call the catering hall and ask if there is a spot where I can pump or shoud I do it in the car?

Maybe the bride will let you use the bridal suite

you can pump before you go to cocktail hour and then will only need to go out 1x

I'd go for bridal suite as well! I'm sure the bride would be happy to accomodate!

I've been in this exact situation and I ended up pumping in the car.

Re: WWYD? - pumping and going to a wedding
I have been to 3 weddings recently and I exclusively pump as well. I pumped in the car after church and then I pumped again about 20 minutes shy of cocktail hour ended again in the car. I wouldn't use the bridal suite room if I wasn't in the wedding because the bride/groom/bridal party are often in and out. I would be nervous that the door would just fling open. I was in my sisters wedding this past weekend and I pumped in the bathroom of the bridal suite but the entire wedding party was aware I pump. I pump all the time in the car, I just bring a button down shirt and then a cooler to put the bottles in.

Re: WWYD? - pumping and going to a wedding
I used the car when I had to pump at a wedding. I would set everything up in the back seat and had a little cooler. It helped that our windows were tinted too, but if not I'd probably just use a cover if it was still light out.

Re: WWYD? - pumping and going to a wedding
I have asked the Maitre'd. The times I have had to do this they let me go into either an office or an empty bridal suite. The last wedding I went to she had me ask the bride/groom and they were more than happy to let me use it as well.

Re: WWYD? - pumping and going to a wedding
I recently used the car and brought a cooler bag. I always have my nursing cover and hands free bra with the pump. I snuck out at the end of the cocktail hour and had someone text me when the speeches started.

Re: WWYD? - pumping and going to a wedding
I pumped in the bathroom at a wedding I went to when DD was 4 months old. It was a private bathroom, but I would have done the same thing if it was a shared restroom. I dumped the milk though, didn't store it.
ETA: this was in the city, if I had driven to the wedding I would have just went to the car.
