To want to continue BF although DH wants me to stop?

[Pusspuss1]

I am still BF my 13.5 MO. I'm happy to do so and he is very happy to continue too. It's the only thing that will soothe him at night. DH thinks he's getting too old for it now and gets frustrated because DS screams his head off if anyone but me goes to him when he wakes at night. We have DH's work Christmas do coming up that we'd both like to go to for (a) his career and (b) a rare and much needed night out, but because DS needs to be resettled with a BF (nothing else will do, inconsolable sobbing), I'm very nervous leaving him at home with my mum babysitting. I know he'll be bound to wake up and they'll both have a very distressing time. The do is in London so quite a way away. AIBU to consider getting a hotel room for my mum and DS so they can be nearby and I can pop out and sort out DS if necessary? DH says this is stupid, which it probably is. Any thoughts on how we could solve the problem? Do I have to give up BF?

If Dh doesn't 't want to bf him then you won't force him but whether you and your son want to is another matter - am still bf my ds and will stop when he wants to - occasionally dfiance makes grumblings about stopping but I ignore.,

Ps this sounds heartless but I find if you are not actually there yourself it is quite easy to worry about the hard time dh or dm might be having settling the baby! You can hear about it in the morning when it is a distant memory and baby is happy again.

But having said that my breastfed ds (7 months) has settled completely fine for dh, dm and dmil with bottles - doesn't necessarily fall asleep on bottle but has variously settled in cot (also does this for me) or having cuddles. So yours might well be fine when you are not there reminding him of milk!

My DS is 18 months and I still bf morning and bedtime. However I think it would be good for you, him and DH to learn to settle without it. If I'm out, DH can now settle DS without me and without a bottle.

I'd have a trial run if I wee you
