The wedding day is the most anticipated in the lives of many women, it is so longed for that even the smallest detail is taken care of so that everything turns out perfect. However, it is almost impossible to control the small inconveniences that arise during the event, as it happened in the wedding of this woman, who while she was in the ceremony, had to breastfeed her baby to calm him down.
This happened during the wedding of the Brazilians Bárbara Ceresa and Vítor Craveiro, who traveled from Brazil to a beach in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, for their perfect day. Among the guests was Felippo, the couple’s young son, who had been left in the care of his grandmother while the ceremony was taking place.
However, during Vítor’s vows, the little boy began to feel uncomfortable. Barbara heard him from the altar and without thinking twice, she went for him to carry him and began to feed him while listening to her partner’s vows.
Any mother does not like to see her child cry and the breast always calms.

Felippo needed his mother’s breast to calm down, and the bride’s dress was no impediment to breastfeeding him. In fact, she seemed to be ready for it.
My dress allowed me to breastfeed and I did it while Vitor said his vows, and it was very special.
The emotional moment was recorded in photographs and videos that the guests themselves took. In addition, the act added more emotion and tenderness to the ceremony by seeing a happy mother with her baby in her arms while saying “yes, I do” to her future husband.
It will be very nice later, when he is older, to see that his mother nursed him during his vows. I think this further seals this love.
The image of the Brazilian mother breastfeeding her baby went viral, causing a wave of messages of support for normalizing something as natural as breastfeeding. It will undoubtedly be a beautiful memory that will have a lot of meaning in the future.
