Should really be posting this in the woo freaking fantastic hoo room because I am just a tad excited to be going away with a couple of girlfriends by myself for two whole nights! No kids no Husband just ME! Last time I did this I wasnt a wife or a mother so it has been a very long time between drinks.
My one little issue that I may have is Lady. She is still having at least three feeds from me a day. Somedays less somedays more.
If I get her up in the morning and offer her breakfast straight away then we can miss the morning feed. Day times ones are easy to "avoid" if I want to by offering her something else or distraction and at night time she will take a bottle from DH to go to sleep with so I know she will be fine without me but the problem is she has never not had anything from me all day.
I am worried that if she goes two full days without me she may wean from me. I know if that is the case she has had a great run and I can be proud of myself but im not ready yet But then this is too big an opportunity for me to turn it down and I am really really needing some me time.
I will take my pump with me to empty out and keep things productive but will she forget about me in two days? How long does it take for them to wean and lose the taste for it?
I have no idea... buy my DS weaned at 17 months after my milk dried up at 16 weeks pregnant. It took him a month to "let go" (he'd go a couple of days with nothing, then decide to give it another shot to see if anything came back etc etc...), so I very much doubt she'll go cold turkey so quickly! If anything I'd say you'll get back from your weekend away and she'll be a little booby machine to catch up on what she missed out on XD
