or do you think she will have forgotten

she has never taken a bottle - now milk / water in a cup.

In my experience yes she will leap on you when you get home. I would be more concerned about your need to pump while you are away, in part to keep yur supply at a normal level, but also because you will risk getting engorged / leaking and will be pretty uncomfortable if you don't pump.

oh really never thought of that

I had better remember the pump then I guess she may take more milk from me than I realise!

My DS1 did when he was 15 months, I was away for two nights. He was very happy to see me when I got back and fed fine but also was fine with a cup while I was gone. I did pump 2x a day although I didn't get much out...

I did the same when DS2 was 15 months, away for 4 nights, pumped two or three times a day but couldn't get much out, so was getting worried.

On my return he latched onto my breast and didn't leave me alone for a couple of days. He constantly wanted to BF, poor thing had probably thought he had lost his mummy. So I let him BF like a newborn, firstly to comort him and secondly to get my supply back up.

You'll be fine
