It’s my best friends hen do when my little one will be 10 months. He is currently 8 months and wakes up during the night to feed quite a bit. Sometimes it’s just to settle and sometimes it’s because he’s hungry. We are definitely going through the sep anxiety but I am so worried about what to do for the hen do? I have left him for 4 days work so far but even then my MIL bought him to me at lunch time for feeds.
DS has been EBF but loves his solids!! He has never taken a bottle but does love his sippy cup so we need to try giving formula / expressed milk through that.
My worry is the nighttime.
I am maid of honour so will be very hands on with the weekend. We have hired 3 apartments on a shared site, and as some people have dropped out one isn’t being used. My mum has offered to come stay with my little one so I can just come back and feed him but not sure it will go down well him being there? It’s about 1 hour / 1.5 hours from home.
I want my bestie to know I’m there for her but at the same time I need to put DS first.
I think my options are:
- I just go for the evenings and days and go home to sleep (about an hours drive)
- Mum brings DS to stay the night so I can put him down and go back when he wakes. Husband takes him for the day time? Or husband comes to stay?
- Husband stays in an Airbnb close by and I don’t drink so can go there if needed?
- Husband stays at home with baba and if it gets so bad I just drive home or he drives to me, bring him to me in the morning for a feed and cuddle?
- Go away for the whole weekend and leave him with hubby and hope he’ll be okay (I am really worried this could have a lasting effect on him though if he becomes distraught)
Help!!
