My friend is getting married in Spain and DH and I have been invited - she has a no children rule, which is fair enough.
By that time I will have a four month old and a nearly three year old - AIBU in leaving them with family while DH and I go to the wedding?
It will be Fri-Monday and my mother and sister will move into our home.
I have never left DS so first time away from both.
My main concern is breastfeeding - I struggled with DS and gave into the bottle after 8 weeks after combination feeding, my concern is that if I ebf the new baby he/she will not take a bottle for that weekend.
I don't want to make it a traumatic experience for mum, so I would have to introduce a bottle at nights at say 3 months, so he/she would be happy to take it when I am away - I am worried that when I return he/she won't want the breast again and I will have to bottle feed (I am determined to stick with breast this time.)
I'm already finding lots of excuses not to go, but DH says we should attend as we don't go anywhere and I will regret not seeing my friend marry.
Has anyone else left their children at similar ages?
Thanks
