DD is almost 6 months old and will be 6 months when i go on this course. I am exclusively BF. I haven't really used a pump much except at the beginning, so DD is with me all the time and breastfeeds about 6 times a day.
I have a course I have desperately wanted to do and I booked it while I was pregnant for the weekend. DD being my first I had no idea what BF would be like and I thought I'd BF for the standard 6 months and then stop. However, I don't want to stop.
The trouble is, even when I miss one feed, my supply drops. If I go a whole weekend only doing feeds before 9am and after 5pm (missing two, possibly three feeds each day) I am going to have supply issues by the end of the weekend.
When I try pumping I only get about 50ml, so this would not be enough for each feed for dd if I were to replace feeds with expressed milk.
What do you suggest I do?
