I've never head of breastfed infants being an exception to the no-kids rule. I'm assuming that no-kids means just that.
But I do agree with others - if you have a no-kids wedding and someone can't make it because they have children (regardless of if they're nursing or not), then I think you can't be upset about that!
I recently went to a friend's wedding when Xander was 5 months. It was two nights away from him and it was really hard pumping all the milk he'd need for the time we'd be apart, and it sucked having to go back to my hotel room every 3 hours to pump. BUT it was still a LOT of fun and I don't regret going without Xander or him getting to spend quality time with grandparents! The only thing that sucked was I was pumping when dinner got served and when I got back, my food was cold (AND the servers apparently tried to take it away a couple times and my husband had to defend it). I also missed when the bride and groom visited our table, so I pretty much didn't see them at all at the reception, which was a bummer.

We didn't invite any children to our wedding, but there were a few babies there. Some of our friends had babies as young as 6 weeks old when we got married. I knew we wanted them there and I knew they couldn't be away from their baby for that long. Though, my MOH had a two month old and she took it as a night away and left him with her Mom.

My good friend is getting married but it is child-free and I'm EBF so it's understood that I will not be attending.

It's a hard situation, becuase I think a 6 week old EBF baby is different than say a 7 month old EBF baby, where do you draw the line? ? I think you have to just draw the line and realize if you want a child-free wedding you will be excluding some family/friends.

We had "no kids but hand-held infants" rule. We had lots of friends/family members with bitty babies (like, less than 3 months old), and we completely did not mind if they brought their babies. We wrote "adults-only" on the invitation, but I reached out to those guests specifically and told them that they were an exception to the rule.

@Mrs. Jump Rope: Just want to clarify I have no issue with adults only events. It's just the actual stating of it on the invitation that I was always taught was not proper. I'm just surprised to hear the generally accepted etiquette has changed on that.
