When Mummy is Attending a Course
Hi Helen

In two weeks I am attending a four days course, and I will be away from home 09.00am-05.00pm. We have arranged for my mother to take care of Silas. He is usually breastfed at 08.00am and sleeps until 11-11.30am. At lunch 12.00pm he has solids followed by a breastfeed, and he has another breastfeed at 04.30pm. Dinner at 05.30 - potatoes and vegetables.

He does not want to drink from a bottle, but drinks from a glass. However, most of his milk intake is covered by breastfeeding.

My mother has tried to give him formula from a bottle, and he had approx. 30 ml, however, when I came home, he was ready for a breast feed ...

Is it alright for him not to have milk while I am away, in case we do not succeed in giving him from the bottle?

Best regards
Charlotte
