A day without bf - will it cause any problems?

Ok, so I'm really going to show my complete non-understanding of bf: I'm going to be away from dd for a day or so when she's about 28wks. She's ebf at the mo, she'll take a bottle of ebm if dh wants a turn but she's never had formula. If she has formula for about 6/7 feeds with a bottle will this makes any difference to her wanting to bf? Probably a really stupid question but it was a mission getting this far so I might be over-paranoid
Also...what's the best thing to store ebm in the freezer in. I'm going to try to express enough to leave with my mum but my supply's pretty much as and when dd needs it so might have to resort to formula.
TIA

If she happily takes a bottle I think you will be fine. You can get little bags to store the ebm. very handy. I had to leave dd at a similar age and she definitely did not go off bf. Just remember you will probably have to express while away if you are full time feeding still (sorry to state the obvious)

Always worth stating the obvious, you never know just how useful it could be. I had thought of it but I bet you anything I'll forget the pump and it'll be hand expressing in the bath all the way...lovely sexy image for our anniversary getaway!!
