...with DH to go for a drink down the road with friends tonight? A typical night for us = I feed DS to sleep 7-8 and then he sleeps in DH's arms while we watch tv. We go up to bed approx 11 and he is transferred to the side cot and sleeps until 3pm. Would say it is this wake time or later for him 90% of the time but obv would be sods law this time he'd wake earlier!
My plan would be to feed him to sleep 7/8 as normal and go for a couple glasses of wine at a pub 10 mins away. If he sleeps until 3 I can still breastfeed and I've pumped some milk if he wakes up earlier for me or DH to feed him (depending on if I am back yet). However, we haven't properly tried with a bottle before (I gave him a little bit yesterday and he took some but then I switched to boob) so if he wakes earlier than normal and won't bottle feed from DH I would pop home to try with bottle (or BF as a last resort as alcohol would still be in my milk).
What do you think? Is it too soon? Too many variables? Or am I being over-anxious? Last baby I didn't go out in the evenings until almost a year as I had PPA and I'm trying to be more relaxed this time but don't want to swing too far the other way so need some guidance.
