I pop home at lunchtime to bf DS 9months. But tomorrow I need to go to a meeting in another city almost 2 hrs away. Travel plus meeting will be max 8 hrs.

DS is EBF and we co-sleep so he feeds a lot in the night. He is BLW but not sure how much he actually eats.

I have never been away from him for that long before and certainly never not fed him for that long before - max is maybe 4ish hours max.

What do you reckon? Will he be ok?? He will be with DH who will give him fruit, toast, yoghurt, water etc.

Tell me this will be ok.....or not??

He'll be fine, he's with some one who cares for him and can offer him alternatives while your not there.

You on the other hand may feel a bit soure, you may need to hand express while out so as not to feel to painfull.

Oh, he'll be fine if he's where he is used to being every day.

They can store up all their BFing needs until you're around by that age :)

I have just got back and he was fine, but very pleased to see me!
