Worse case, I have had my husband give him formula. I would just nurse him as soon as I get home so I don't ge too engorged. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-moms-who-dont-pump%e2%80%94going-out-for-an-appointment#post-359183 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 20:45:43 +0000 purrpletulips 359183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you feed before you leave you should be fine. DS is 6 weeks old and I went to the dentist last week and was fine; I nursed him before I left and he slept through the appointment then nursed shortly after we got home (about 3hr later). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-moms-who-dont-pump%e2%80%94going-out-for-an-appointment#post-358929 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 16:33:12 +0000 Penny Lane 358929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just give her a top up right before you leave. I've done this a few times now (had a wisdom tooth taken out yesterday) and my son has been fine and he's 10 weeks yesterday </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-moms-who-dont-pump%e2%80%94going-out-for-an-appointment#post-358923 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 16:23:11 +0000 Mrs. Train 358923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just feed before you left. I EBF but didn't pump so I never had a freezer supply. I just always feed her before and rushed home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-moms-who-dont-pump%e2%80%94going-out-for-an-appointment#post-358902 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 16:09:16 +0000 knittingmama 358902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll probably be gone for about 3 hours and she is 3monthss old... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-moms-who-dont-pump%e2%80%94going-out-for-an-appointment#post-358881 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 15:59:39 +0000 Mrsbells 358881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long will you be gone for?

We didn't give my LO a bottle for a few weeks around two months and we've struggled getting her to take one again.</p> <p>If she takes it, I think you'd be fine to go to your appointment and leave him with formula though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-moms-who-dont-pump%e2%80%94going-out-for-an-appointment#post-358864 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 15:54:35 +0000 knittingmama 358864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I EBF my LO and I just haven't figured out how to work pumping into my schedule. I have to go to the dentist soon—my supply should be fine if I have my husband give her formula while I'm gone, right?</p> <p>He used to give her a bottle of formula at night during the first couple of months (until she turned out to be sensitive to milk and I switched her to just breast milk), so I think she'll take the bottle... </p>
