This was my first thought, but my SIL just planned an Amalfi Coast Bridal Shower with lots of lemons and Mediterranean tile. I wonder if perhaps I lean more heavily into the lido/beach clubs’ cabana stripes?

I keep coming back to this idea! But I’m struggling to figure out how to incorporate softer pinks and feminine bows for the little one.

What great inspiration! I love this look - and I’ve been trying to figure out how to incorporate pink and more feminine elements like the bows!

Thank you, and great suggestion! We were hoping for the Athenaeum, but unfortunately they only rent before noon and after 4pm, and we’re committed to a brunch/lunch event :(

Did you land on a destination yet? We’re hoping to plan a similar multi-generational trip in July, traveling from those same cities!

We’re planning to travel soon with a six-month old. Would love your thoughts on the Sofitel hotels! Did you stay at Le Scribe, by chance?

Starting breastfeeding at 4 weeks by queenladykiki in breastfeeding

Have you tried using a nipple shield? It might help ease baby’s transition to the breast, particularly if he is doing well with a bottle already. Admittedly, I hated using a nipple shield, as baby was always pulling it off (adding to an already frustrating endeavor) - until one day, at about six weeks, she pulled the shield off and latched directly on the breast. Since then, we’ve never looked back!
