I can understand that he might be upset, but maybe he should have had this conversation before hand knowing that she breastfeeds everywhere!! And clearly he’s on his own as everyone disagrees with him.

This guy is a total moron. Babies need to be fed. Anyone who has a problem with that needs to take a long hard look at themselves. Looks like we have a long, long way to go if this man seriously believes it is “poor etiquette” to feed a hungry child.
Glad everyone sided with his sister. I wish his wife well when she has a baby and has to educate her man child husband.

look, i kind of see both sides here as a bride who didnt invite children to her wedding (when i had no kids of my own, though the venue was not kid friendly)

I can see why both parties are upset, hope they work it out!

Every wedding I’ve been too women have always breastfed in the baby room provided, no one has breastfed in front of everyone. If this sister knew that her sister breast fed anywhere and everywhere she should have said something to begin with i’m sure there would have been no offence.

It really depends on how she was doing it. I breastfed but always have felt a bit uncomfortable with people not covering up while doing it. I don’t think there’s a need to flop everything all out in front of everyone. Use a cover!

I don’t understand why this would be embarrassing ?

Well firstly, feeding a baby takes priority. Secondly, a breastfed baby will not always drink from a bottle and thirdly, support your sister who is feeding your niece. I attended a wedding when my son was 10 days old, I took him to the toilets to feed him and whilst I did, I looked around and thought, this is not right, I never did that again, but I was always discreet and never had one complaint. Imagine taking your Grandmother to a toilet to eat or giving her a bottle at the table when she can’t use it. Not cool.

I’m 45 and DO NOT have children of my own! (Medical reasons). However, if I did and my child was hungry, I’d feed them. Seriously dude. You need to take a long hard look at yourself, we aren’t living back in the 1800’s. I thank goodness your new wife has the logical sense to stand up for her new sister-in-law. I hope you pull your head in and don’t even think of trying this when you and your wife have children. You are NOT a caveman. And that society is long gone. I suppose though, you’re one of those people who would have overturned the controversial Roe Vs Wade decision over too! 🙁

Absolutely 100%!!!
You have an issue with your sister keeping her baby alive by feeding her!
Here’s a few things you should know:
1. Yes, u very much are an a$$hole among other things!
Now you should know a few reasons why she breastfeeds her baby.
1. Her baby is hungry
2. Because she can and wants to
And now to further educate you on the other minor/unimportant details:
1. Not all babies will accept a bottle
2. Some babies who do take a bottle show a preference for it over breastfeeding
3.formula can be a tricky and expensive process for finding one that won’t give baby constipation, or they will actually drink.

P.s. I’m glad your wife and everyone else thinks your an a$$ and I hope your wife feels comfortable feeding any future babies you may have anywhere she wants!

Maybe she could have done it more decorously. I certainly wouldn’t have breastfed my children in front of 250 guests at a wedding, but would still have breastfed them.

Can we please normalise feeding a child no matter what!

  I agree it is natural and the way babies eat. We don’t make others, bottle fed or people who eat food leave a social situation to eat. If people are offended or have a problem they need to find a way to manage that not the mum who just wants to feed her baby.

Nothing wrong with breastfeeding but maybe she could have gone into a parents room or something in case other people weren’t comfortable with it.
With number one, I would always go into a disabled toilet if there wasn’t a parents room as I didn’t really feel comfortable doing it out in public even though it’s a natural thing.

ass hole sounds like he was one the one with problem im not person to do it public i put a shall over the baby so nothing is seen

Poor mother, sounds like she can stand up for herself!
I pity the new bride. It will be a rocky road with that ????

This can’t be real. What kind of grown man acts like this. Kudos to BF mama for taking his stupidity in stride.
If everyone is siding with your sister, don’t you think maybe, just maybe you are the a***hole here?!?

Yeh you are 100000% the a*shole. Breastfeeding is a natural thing, clearly this guy won’t be supporting of his new wife breastfeeding

Breast feeding is so normal. Why do people find it so un natural..

How rude of her brother to say these things to her and about her. I dont care what or who’s day it is. Dont ever judge a mum for breastfeeding.
Ass hole

Yep brother is a total a*hole! If she is comfortable then who cares. Also if he cared so much (as it’s at his wedding blah blah), organise a room or somewhere private for her to take bubs for a feed.

Sounds like she’s the only one with a problem. My 2nd baby was a few weeks old at my sisters wedding but I didn’t breastfeed my 1st so I felt uncomfortable doing it in front of people and I just sat in my car when he needed a feed. I breastfed everywhere with my 3rd and if your comfortable enough then do it!
At a family wedding surrounded by love who the hell cares! Everyone loves a newborn!
