Its our anniversary this month.

We are going away for 1 night/day. DD has never stayed away from us, but we are toying with the idea of having a meal to ourselves and a night with a SLEEP IN! (woohooing at the idea of not being woken in the morning by a cutie wanting to play). I am SO torn. Will i miss her too much and not sleep anyway? I havent even moved her from our room yet.....

If it goes ahead she will be staying with my parents. So i will need to express and store. I havent done any of this before so i am lost as to where to start. How much milk will i need? I am thinking there will be about 3 feeds at night and then 1 in morning before she gets dropped back to us. She is on some solids too so its normally just one side of milk per feed. How do i start expressing without her missing out on milk now? How soon do i need to start? should i feed her on one side and then express the other?

Also, say she does stay with my mum, will i need to keep expressing while we are away so my milk doesnt go? Or just express when im full to relieve?

Please please enlighten me!
