Leaving 10 month EBF for 36 hours - supply...?

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 followIng evening (and will feed him at bedtime).

I am worried about my supply - am taking pump for the second weekend but haven't expressed since he was 6 months old when he dropped the dream feed, will anything come out?! Will my supply be ok? He has always been a quick feeder but I have never missed a fees until now.

First time I missed a feed was 22months but she was fed on demand and by that time just morning evening and all night

pump for your comfort and to avoid mastitis, but when you get home let him feed on demand and he will get your supply back up again - especially if he is a boob monster like mine!
