Ds is 10 months old. He is breastfed but also eats other food, some days he mostly eats food with just a few breastfeeds but other days ( when he is teething or under the weather) he eats hardly any food and will only breastfeed.

We have tried cups/bottles of expressed milk but he refuses, we have tried regularly for the past 7 months.

I'm terrified of flying, I usually take valium to help me deal with the flight but as I'm bf that isn't an option.

I am from the UK so flying is not something I can avoid but the 3-4 days before a flight are awful I have a constant low level feeling of panic and anxiety dreams about plane crashes.

Dp's parents live 1000 km away, they come to the city we live in regularly but they have lots of people to see so they often don't visit us at all it is a case of us going to the place they are staying, it is always US instigating contact. I have suggested they might like to come and spend the day with us, come to playgroup with us, eat meals, give ds a bath but they always decline ( far enough I'm sure they have

They come to your city and don't see you?

YANBU.

I dont get this?

YANBU - but only because the in-laws are fit and well enough to visit your city but can't find time to visit you.

I am assuming you haven't finished posting. BUt from what you have said YANBU. If they can't be bothered to come and see you when staying locally then they (or your husband) cant expect to take a breastfed baby away from his mother for 5 days! (even if there was other reasons it would be unreasonable to really)

don't quite understand why you have to fly to get out if you live in the UK. There are boats and a tunnel.

Apologies for the double ( and very confusing) post!
