Going away when child is still feeding through the night

[CrispyFern]

I was asked and agreed to attend a work event next month a while ago. I'll have to stay overnight for two nights. My son will be 15 months old. At the time I agreed I thought he'd probably be Ok without me at night but he is still feeding three or four times.
Now the time is getting closer and closer and I don't know if he will be alright! Will he just cry all night?
Do I have to sleep train him because I will be going away? I don't mind him feeding in general, we all cosleep, it doesn't bother me.
He is fine for the day without me but I've never left him overnight before.

I've done it and worried (my DC was actually younger) but was told all was fine, and of course I don't know if that's true or not!

A bit of sleep training beforehand might help, but it could be that with you/the source of milk simply not there, he cries a little but is fine.

I'm not sure that anyone can tell your how he will react.
Is he used to co sleeping with his dad?
If so you might find that if he wakes as usual he will see his dad and just go back to sleep. Or not!
The only way to know would be to try it I suppose. Could you do a practice night?
What you need is a plan that you and your partner are happy with. Whether that's sleep training or just seeing what happens when it comes to it. As long as your partner is happy to deal with potentially 2 nights of crying and less sleep that's ok.

I know he won't explode or anything if I'm not there I guess. I'll have to be brave! Wibble.
