Wedding, am BF but not taking baby

[rachelb]

Hi Ladies.
Am going to a wedding next Saturday and am not taking my lg. I am still breastfeeding her. Have sorted her with expressed milk. But its me im worried about. My friends have visions of me on the dance floor spraying everyone!!!!
I will be gone for around 12 hours so am really worrying what to do.
Any advice?!
Thanks xxxxx

Youll maybe need to express and dump to save you feeling engorged x

Do you have/ could you buy a small manual pump?
That way you could sneak off and express a few times through the day. Take a few spare breast pads too just incase of any leaks. Have a great time!

Yeah boots do a cheapy one for a tenner

I have an avent manual pump. Shall look at the boots one to see if it is any smaller. Damn you boobies lol

Take lots of pads and wear a comfy bra. I had a wedding to go to when my Lo was 6 weeks. 1pm wedding, expressed at 4pm and 10pm

I have wedding soon too but LO won't take my expressed milk in bottle yet!! Need to keep trying!!

 

[El1en]

Oh and enjoy it! It's hard not to worry but have fun

Have left her before but that was only for an evening. This will be lot longer. Boots had a nuby manual pump on offer and its much smaller than my other one!!!

Karenb persist with it. my lg wont take a bottle from me as she can smell my milk so it has to come from someone else and she takes it fine!!!
