DS was EBF. I spent an afternoon without him at 7 months (before he really ate anything) and he was heartbroken because he needed a breastfeed and I wasn't there. It was genuinely just a hunger thing and he so rarely cries.
I go back to work in 9 weeks, only part time but he still won't take formula. He eats a little bit (1 small finger of Toast for breakfast, a small frontage frais and a piece of apple at lunch, a very small piece of cheese and tiny mouthful of whatever I'm having at dinner) he drinks water well from a straw cup.
Is he likely to be devastated again when I leave him? Will some water and some snacks get him by for 6 hours?

Do they still cry for BF when they're eating and drinking a little?
