I still breastfeed my 18 month old 2-3 times a day. I work full time but the longest I've gone so far without seeing her is 24 hours.

I'm going on a much-needed mini-break for 72 hours soon. I plan to pump and dump twice a day while I'm gone. I'm not worried about her - she'll be fine and can go to sleep without feeding. I'm worried she won't want to feed ever again once we are reunited.

Any experiences? I know there are no guarantees either way but just wondered what others had experienced.
