My DD is 2, and still BFing- mostly in bed am/ pm, but on weekends, she'll feed multiple times through the day (usually in response to minor injuries/ feeling tired etc). She can easily go all day without breastfeeding - and does 4 days a week when I'm at work, and she's at nursery. The longest we've been apart is 18 hours, when I had a work trip.
I have to go away at the end of May for 2 nights/ 3 days. Im a LP, but exDP and by mother will have her for the weekend (it's a work trip; taking her wouldn't be fair on her or my clients/ host organisation - especially as I can't take anyone with me to look after her).
I don't want this to be the end of breastfeeding (although I am TOTALLY ready - she isn't, and I don't want this to be traumatic).
Does anyone have any tips on how to prepare her/ myself - and what I can expect her to be like while I'm away? She'll go to sleep etc. without breastfeeding at nursery etc. so she obviously CAN... I just don't want her to be sad!
Help help please!
