FTM and EBF - seeking advice

Robyn

Hi ladies!

I'm a FTM and EBF - on September 1st I will be away for a close friends wedding where my husband and I are leaving around 2pm, staying overnight at a hotel (it's 2 hours away) and will be back around 11-12pm the next day. My MIL and his aunt will be watching our son for the night. I'm trying to figure out how much to pump for him and how much food he'll need in terms of rice cereal/purees as he will be over 6 months and being introduced to rice cereal this week. I'm worried I won't leave him enough milk while I'm gone.

Would it be the end of the world if we supplemented with formula that night just incase he needed more food? I'm not against formula at all - it's just he's never had it before so I do not want him to have an upset stomach.

Let me know your thoughts as I am very worried and confused as to how to prepare him for the night while we are gone. I will be pumping while we are away that night.

Thank you in advance ladies!
