I have never left my EBF 10 month old who is fed morning, afternoon and bedtime.

This weekend I have to be away on Saturday for his bedtime feed (and maybe his mid afternoon feed) - am not too worried as I will feed him just befpre I leave at lumch time and express when I get home around midnight. However the following weekend I have to go to a wedding abroad without him leaving him for 36 hrs. We are leaving early morning on the Sat - I will feed him before I go, but won't get back until the follow

I left ds at 6months for a weekend. I felt awful all weekend but he was fine. So long as you have plenty of expressed milk try not to worry. Make sure you take your pump too!

I left DD for a weekend when she was 6 months old and my supply was fine. I did pump twice a day, and had quite impressive boobs in-between pumpings (I was probably feeding 6-7 times a day at that point). I would have thought you would be fine if my experience is anything to go by.

I really enjoyed the break too!
