Leaving breastfed baby / toddler

Dh and I are planning a night away in December, ds2 will have just turned 1. We'll probably leave late morning on day 1 and get back around dinner time on day 2.
I'm worried incase he won't breastfeed when I'm back. I wanted to continue feeding him through the winter as he starts part time nursery in December so wanted to give him a helping hand with antibodies and comfort with the big change.
Has anyone else left their 1yo for a night/2 days and gone back to feeding without problems?

Just now he still feeds around 5 times a day so it's hard to imagine that he might only be feeding a couple of times by then.

Yes I left my son when he was 1 with my mums for a few days and he was fine to feed when I got back the only annoying thing was I had to express whilst I was away to relieve discomfort! But like I said no issues when I got back.

That's encouraging, yeah I'll have to take a pump with me I reckon.
