Hi all, just looking for a bit of reassurance from mums who have been through this before. My little girl is almost 8 months old and is exclusively breastfed. She doesn’t eat much solids-wise, nibbled here and there, likes a rice cake snack, refuses to be spoon fed. She enjoys exploring finger food but doesn’t actually eat much of it. She drinks sips of water from her beaker. She’s never taken a bottle.
In June I’ve got tickets for Taylor Swift, it’s a big deal to me so I’m really determined to make it work. My concern is that I’m likely to be out of the house for 6 hours at least, and the longest she’s ever spent away from me is 2.5 hours during the day when my parents took her out for a walk and then did play time at their house. We co-sleep and she feeds to sleep each night and uses the boob for comfort and to stay asleep in the first part of the night. She will fall asleep for my husband and mum during the day in the carrier.
She’ll be 11 months at the time of the concert, so I guess what I’m asking is how much did your babies change between 8 and 11 months with the above? I don’t want to change what we do, it works so well for us and she sleeps 12 hours a night in my arms, but I really, really want to go to this concert and know that she’ll be OK. Anyone done similar and can offer any words of reassurance?
