Really torn by doing the right thing here so need to know if iabu to leave Ds2 who is coming up to 6 mths. He is bf'd and although I've been weaning him for about a month (which he loves) he likes to comfort feed ALOT. He refuses a bottle or dummy, he will drink some juice from a tippy cup but he only ever wants to be fed to sleep and is generally a bit of a mummy's boy waking up 6 times a night. Because he is so reliant on me, I've only left him once for a couple of hours and he was fine in fairness but it was daytime and only for a short while.
We have got tickets for a concert this weekend with an overnight stay that I bought my dh for his birthday. He works 2 jobs including weekend evenings and I really would like us to have a night out. We've already had to cancel a surprise trip he bought me for our anniversary (ds2 was only 3 months) and I had thought when I booked this that by now we would have got the baby to take a bottle as I never wanted to bf this long!
So Aibu to leave him knowing that my poor mum will have a hell of a time with him and he probably won't have any milk fo 14 hours? Or wibu to cancel on dh again? We could go and not stay over (it's only 45mins) but we were hoping to relax a bit and have some kid free time! Would it really bad to go and just hope for the best....?
