I just got a notice today that I'm called to jury duty in August. The problem is that my DD just turned one, and she still nurses a lot. She has never taken a bottle, and has never been given breastmilk out of a sippy cup. I have only been away from her a handful of times, and those were short times when she was with DH. I can't imagine being away form her for a whole day, and what would I do about feeding her? She eats a decent about of solids now that she's one, but not enough to do without breastmilk for a whole day (not to mention she would probably get very upset if she was looking for me and couldn't find me). I do have the option to postpone jury duty for up to a year, but my DH is a teacher and is very limited in terms of when he would be available to watch DD, and we don't have any family in the area to watch her. Besides, I'm not sure how long she will be nursing for, and it is very possible that, if I rescheduled, I would still have the same dilemma. Does anyone have a similar experience they could share with me, and what you did? Thanks?
