Wrong! The World Health Organization recomends babies are breast fed for at least 6 months.
That isnt what I was advised... There are people who are very pro breast-feeding (which is great!) however, it is like anything controversial, the pro people will say longer is better, and the people who are more interested in scientific information believe otherwise.
However, in speaking my my OBGYN and other doctors where I work, 2 weeks is more then substantial to gain the antibodies from the mother needed.
BTW, in case you do not know this, MANY mothers do not breastfeed ever. And their babies grow up to be just as healthy and smart etc, as breastfed babies. I may not even breastfed, I have not decided.
I also pointed out that the OP could express and save breastmilk for the week she would be gone.
Just had to clear that up because you clearly didnt understand my post.
