Weekend away

I'm still Breastfeeding my 13 month DD and am going away for two nights next weekend. She usually feeds morning and evening only. Since returning to work 3 months ago she occasionally has formula / cow's milk in a bottle. However the longest she's ever gone without breastfeeding is 24hrs and I'll be away for two and half days. Will my supply be ok over this time? (plan to express if needed when away)
I went away when my DS was a similar age and he stopped breast feeding at that point

TIA

If you express a little (more to prevent discomfort than anything else) your supply should cope. It might mean your DD feeding a bit more in the days after you're away to build it back up but your milk should disappear over 2 nights.

I personally would give cows milk in a cup rather than a bottle while you're gone, though.
