Leaving lo for 4 nights at 9 months old

sweetpea2 · Apr 13th, 2012, 17:12 PM

Hey,
So as the title says, i'll be leaving my LO for 4 nights when he's just shy of 9 months old. I'm worried that this could be the end of breastfeeding him

. Does anyone have any advice on how to make sure he will still want the breast when I come home? He doesn't take a bottle, but will drink very well from a sippy cup. I'm planning on him having formula while i'm gone as he does not like frozen bm. I'll also be pumping like a mad woman while i'm away.
Thanks for reading!

I wouldn't think it would be the end of BF at that age, especially if you keep your supply up well while you're away, good luck! xx

Thank you - i'm hoping it won't be but theres a little niggling thought at the back of my mind that it might. He does love the boob though... haha.
