Heres a scenario: one-year-old is transitioning from 2 naps a day to 1 gradually, but because of that, his nap time is kind of awkward and inconvenient for others as its usually 12-2pm during adults lunch time. Im a fully DL mum and sometimes if LO stirs awake within 1hr of his nap Ill enter and latch some more so that he naps enough. My family did a reunion lunch and as it was about to begin, LO stir awake and I immediately rushed to latch him because everyone would prefer a well-rested bub, anytime, right?I got stuck nursing, and missed the bulk of the reunion lunch. My parents got really upset with me and said I should have let LO wake up. And because of that they would just treat my hubby and I as transparent because they were upset. I really dont think this is worth destroying a festivity for. Right?  This was also my first CNY being a mother, maybe there could have been some leeway?

For festive period I will close one eye too, or can also DL in a carrier while having lunch? I am not very rigid in schedules like since baby wake up at one o'clock I will just let him wake up and have some lunch with the family instead. Probably to compensate the tiredness later, can latch after lunch or choose to go home early.

maybe for festive, can close one eye? Probably to them, festive lunch is very important as it's a once a year issue. For me, i will try to drag my bubs nap time after the lunch. May be a little cranky but with the amount of people around, i'm sure bubs will be enjoying and playing too. I'm also a fully DL mum. Or i would baby wear and latch bubs(if ur family doesn't mind)
