Hi
I am new to this site so hello to everyone! :)
I have 2 boys - one of 2yrs and a 15 week old, Louis.
I am breastfeeding Louis - i feed him at 7.30am and 5.30pm on one breast. I also express at those times off the other breast and that gives Louis 2 bottles of breastmilk for 11am and 3pm, whilst I am at work. He has a small dreamfeed at 10pm.
So all is going well, but now i have to go away next week for work. Financially I have to do this. My mum will be helping with the boys, with my husband, and the nanny who works whilst i do.
I intend to pump whilst away but will my milk be Ok.? I expect that my supply will go down, and that is fine, i will put Louis to my breast 6/7 times a day when i return to get the supply back up again.
But I am worried that my supply will dry up totally. Or worse, L will reject me when i get back :(
He has had aptimil twice last week in anticipation, and I have left a freezer full of milk too.
Any tips on what I can do?
Thanks!
