I guess a trip this long is pretty rare.</p> <p>@PurplePeony: Glad to hear your LO was eager to nurse. Hope the same goes for us!</p> <p>@LovelyPlum: When is your trip? Mine is in June - I'll try to update after with how it goes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-youve-been-away-from-lo-while-nursing#post-2142052 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 12:09:25 +0000 mrsjyw 2142052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Overnight when DS was 3 months. And a few other overnights throughout his first year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-youve-been-away-from-lo-while-nursing#post-2142047 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 12:04:43 +0000 autumnlove 2142047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3.5 days for LO 1 when she was 2.5 months old. I left pumped milk and I pumped while I was away.</p> <p>2 days for LO 2 when she was 1. She was eating solids and she drank pumped milk from a straw cup while I was gone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-youve-been-away-from-lo-while-nursing#post-2142043 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 12:00:27 +0000 bushelandapeck 2142043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One night when DS was 16.5 months. We were down to just one nighttime nursing session at that point and he stopped a few days after I got home. We were both ready I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-youve-been-away-from-lo-while-nursing#post-2142015 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 11:41:53 +0000 PurplePeony 2142015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 days, and she was eager to resume nursing when I got home. She was 8 months at the time. I was away for 4 days when she was 12 months and that was fine, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-youve-been-away-from-lo-while-nursing#post-2141854 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 09:56:46 +0000 LovelyPlum 2141854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following, because I'm curious, too. I have an 8 day trip away from my LO when she will be 14 months old. I'm curious if it will be the end of our BFing relationship. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-youve-been-away-from-lo-while-nursing#post-2141853 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 09:54:50 +0000 JennyPenny 2141853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've got a 12 day work trip planned for when LO is 11 months old. I've got a big enough stash to get him through it, but I worry that after that much time apart he may just reject nursing all together, which would make me a sad momma. What's the longest you've been away from your LO while nursing? Were there any challenges when coming back? </p>
