I'm invited to a Hen in a few weeks time. My DS absolutely will not take a bottle. Ive tried everything. How long realistically do you think I can leave him for without having milk? He eats well and happily drinks water from a cup. The Hen is a couple of hours away, I've already skipped out on the overnights. First activity is 11am so I'm thinking I can easily get there for then. But then dinner is booked in the evening, I'm going to have to miss that aren't I?
For context, I do feed overnight but more to get DS back to sleep than anything. He can go from bed time until about 5am without milk if I put in the effort worth shushing and patting. But it doesn't result in more sleep so I don't usually bother. So at night he can do about 10 hours with no milk before I cave and feed him. Day time he still feeds every couple of hours.
