DP wants to take me away to a nice hotel for a night (woohoo!) and grandparents have offered to look after my LO who will be 7 months by the time we go. He is EBF and happy to take a bottle. I would love a bit of a break, but dont want to risk messing up the BFing.
For it to be worth going, the minimum time I would need to be apart from LO would be from 4pm the day before until 11 am the next day. That would be 3 or 4 feeds, including his biggest feeds of the day. I could express while we were apart, but the most I have ever left him for before is 2 feeds, and I am worried that even with expressing my milk supply could drop and/or I could get engorgement (as I understand the pump is not as effective at getting the milk out?)
Does anyone else have experience of being away from their baby overnight while BFing?
Thanks all!
