To not like his birthday present?

[CaramelPrincess]

My DH is never normally spontaneous or romantic, or anything along those lines. However for my birthday next month he has planned a surprise trip to a spa day including an overnight stay in a hotel with my friend.
It is so kind of him & I am truly grateful that he has made an effort, however I am currently EBF my three month old DS, and my DH hasn't even paid thought to this.
I don't particularly want to be away from my DS all day & night, plus I can't see how it is going to work regarding feeding him as he is very hit and miss with taking a bottle!
I feel like I'm being such a cow if I tell him I'm not keen on the idea of going...

I would get a good quality double electric pump and save some in the freezer for the time you are away. Introduce a bottle with expressed milk with your ds now so that you know he will take a bottle. Then when you are away, you can express and either put in the mini bar fridge and take it in a cool bag home if you're closes by or dispose of it. You will need a pump when you go away anyway as your boobs will fill and hurt.

I understand the compulsion to not want to leave him. As long as your dh can manage, your ds will be fine.

Can it be postponed a few months? I wouldn't enjoy being away from DD overnight at that age.

Can you postpone it.
If you want to BF and he will only be 4 months then you won't want to leave him.
Keep as your present but delay it by a good few months until you feel more comfortable leaving your LO.

Exactly NavyandWhite he's done such a lovely thing but I think he was just hoping I could go, and DS would feed fine etc but he hasn't thought it through really, cos for one thing I don't think he realises what happens to your boobs when you don't feed haha!
I think I could maybe go and enjoy the day bit cos at least I'll know I'm coming home later, but I don't know if they will let me go for the day & postpone the overnight stay as I think it is some sort of package deal. Will have to look into it
