I'm planning to attend a wedding out of town and leaving my ds with my pil in several weeks' time. He'll be 9mo old by then. I am still nursing him at bedtime and hope to continue this until his first birthday. I'm planning to introduce him to a sippy cup soon and offering this at bedtime on occasion as preparation for being away (he has never taken a bottle and I don't see the point in introducing one now). I'm worried about how he'll cope with going to bed at their house. He spends a fair bit of time with my mil but never at night (she has never put him to bed). I realize it's only for one night but I don't want to traumatize him. Am I underestimating his adaptability? I'd appreciate hearing from anyone with similar experiences on how their breast-fed baby coped with being left at night and how you handled the "substitute" nursing at bedtime.
