Hi,
I've just come out of emergency surgery, and as it was obviously not planned I had not prepared my baby for any long separation. That is, he has always refused the bottle and dummy and he's never spent more than 30 minutes away from me. Whilst I was rushed to hospital my mum managed to get him to take a few sips of formula off a spoon and decided to give him some solids (for the first time) which he loved thank goodness.
I just need some reassurance that he's going to be okay. He's been crying almost non-stop since I left for the hospital but I should be discharged tomorrow morning. Still I'm so worried about how he's going to cope this evening without me. I know it's only one night but he's so little. DH has decided to handle this evening on his own which might not be so bad if it was just the baby but I also have a very needy 2 and 4 year old. He's very capable and a great dad but I always do the nights as he works long days and he doesn't have boobs! My 2 year old still feeds during the night also and whilst I'm not concerned he will starve he screams the house down without it.
Has anyone been in a similar predicament and it all worked out fine? TIA
