Leaving a 3 month old ebf baby for 3-4 hours

I'm pregnant with dc2 and have been offered some work when he'll be 3 months old that will mean being away for 4 lots of 3-4 hours (i'm a musician). He'll be able to stay with dp. It would have been a nightmare doing this with dd - she seriously bf'd every hour and was screaming hysterically as soon as I went anywhere (even out of the room if dp was holding her), refused all bottles/cups... But dc2 might be different, i know. Can I risk accepting the work in the hope he'll accept a bottle feed and be ok, or am I being delusional?

I think at 3 months, 3-4 hours is fine, even if baby refuses s bottle it's not an excessive amount of time without milk. I would say accept the work.
