(this is a friend's situation - i wish mine slept through the night & i could go off for night away!)
she has to go away for work for one night at the end of the month, leaving her 16 month old behind. she can't take him with her. he sleeps through the night, is used to his dad giving him a lot of care. he breastfeeds twice a day, once in the morning & once in the evening. my friend is worried about losing her supply while she is away. i reckon she'll be okay (she's always had a good supply) & the most she will miss is 3 feeds. what do you think? does she need to take the pump? we were thinking of hand expressing for comfort if necessary. she'll be really busy & won't really have the time to pump.
