My DH has a works do at the end of the month, it's a day that usually ends in a late night. My DM is looking after DD who will be 16 weeks and is BF, she has occasionally taken a bottle but when we tried the other night (using up defrosted BM after freezer issue) she screamed and screamed and wouldn't take the bottle at all.
Am now really worried how my DM will cope though she says it's no problem and DD will be more likely to take one when I am not there. She has taken a bottle from DH when I have been away for up to four hours so there may be something in this!
My other problem is that I am currently expressing like mad to build up the stock of milk in the freezer, so worried my supply will increase. So any tips on how to survive eight plus hours away without my boobs exploding! Nb DH has bought me a lovely designer handbag specifically for the event which won't fit a pump and also is black and white so will be wearing a strapless white dress! I am going to end up with wet circles aren't I?
Thanks for making it to the end and any advice welcome!
