Due to some seriously unhelpful scheduling, it looks like I will need to leave my bf baby for 2-3 days. She will be nealry 8 months old. We've introduced some solids and she accepts expressed milk in a bottle very well.
However, I've never left her for longer than 8 hours to work and she hasn't had more than 3 bottles without going back to the breast.
My questions:
If I leave her with expressed milk, will she accept the breast again after a few days absence?
Am I going to irrevocably damage my supply if I have to express for a few days?
Advice welcomed.
Many thanks
