Being separated from your BF toddler...

My DS is 2yr 5m and still breast fed. He has about 2-3 feeds a day, maybe more if he's unwell.

In October he's going away with his dad for 7 days and I can't help worry about what will happen to my milk.

Will I have to express or will it not be such an issue seeing as it's a toddler I'm breastfeeding and not a baby therefore going a long time without feeding won't be an issue?

Sometimes I'm away from him for 48 hours and am absolutely fine but 7 days is obviously a lot longer.

I think it would probably be fine (when I weaned ds at 3 I could still express a little milk a few weeks later), but if it was me I would probably hand express a little each day, just so I didn't stress!
