16 months can anyone help please?

[Nuttybackdoor]

My LO is 16 months, still breastfed early morning and evening, I have been away from home since Fri morning and not returning until next Friday. Didn't prepare LO or me for going away, from what I gather at the moment she is fine! I'm in agony with my boobs!
What can I do to reduce the pain and discomfort, and is it very likely that our feeding relationship will have come to and end by the time I get home?

Have you tried hand expressing?

If you express off some milk each day then your supply won't dry up that quickly and it will ease the pressure.

As to whether LO will want a boob feed when you get back, only time will tell. My LO just stopped of her own accord one day, we'd got down to just a morning feed and then she just didn't want it anymore! It may be that if your LO is fine without then it is a sign they would have self weaned v soon anyway. Either that or they'll be grabbing at your boobs before you get in the door!
