DS (nearly 11mo) has conjunctivitis so has been off nursery all week.
DH and I don't have many holidays left, so we've shared care this week. I'm supposed to be back to work tomorrow, and DH will be looking after him - he also took Wednesday off to take care of him.
Thing is, he has decided to take DS to see his dps. Which is fine, as they are lovely and totally dote on him but they are quite a long way off.
He'll be setting off at around 10 to get there for about 11.30ish (which is fine, as that is roughly ds's nap time) but he won't be setting off back until 4.30, as the plan is to meet his dss's mum and pick dss up and bring him back here, which means he won't be home until at least 6.30ish (barring any traffic snarl ups on the M62/A1!!), half an hour before ds's normal bedtime.
My main concern is that it is a long time without milk - he is bf and will not under any circumstances drink milk from a bottle or cup - he'll only drink water from a cup.
When I am working and he is at nursery, he goes 9 hours between feeds, he'll potentially be going nearly 12 hours between feed.
On top of that he has been off-colour this week due to the conjunctivitis (though that has just about cleared up now) and we have had some seriously shitty nights with him, the worst being last night. Which leads to my other concern that he'll be either asleep in the car on the way back and be unbelievably unsettled when he gets home so we will have an even worse night or he'll be seriously cranky in the car - DSS will be in the back with him but he is only 7yo so can't be expected to try and keep him calm. And we'll still have a shitty night!
DH is dead keen to do this, FIL is having some problems with his PC and DH has offered to come over and fix it.
Please tell me I'm worrying over nothing...
