3 days off at 16 months?

DD is 16 months and BFs once a day, in the mornings.

If DH took her away for 3 days, do you think she'd still want to BF when she got back to me? Or would that likely be the end?

Mine took months off at that age when I was pregnant and restarted with a passion when my milk came in after her sibling was born.
It'll take more effort than that to wean a 16m old.

I was still doing the bedtime feed for my 15 month old, when I had to be away at bedtime one night. Left her with granny who got her to bed with no problems, so I didn't bother feeding the next night. That was the end of it!

I left my 18 month old for 2 days and she still wanted to once I got back!

What do you hope will happen?

Thanks all. I'm not sure what I hope will happen - I bounce between being touched out (not so much from feeding, but from DD permanently wanting to put her hands down my top which I hope she'd stop when my boobs are less interesting), and loving morning milky cuddles.

I kinda hoped a break would take the decision out of my hands!
