I need your guys opinion before I speak with both of my parents. So Gabe's dad wants me to go on a cruise with him when he gets back from overseas on December 11-16. Thing is I EBF Gabe, he will be 9 months then but is it worth me giving him formula just to go on a cruise? 🤔😩

why don't you just pump like crazy and store the milk

you're right! I mean he should be eating more food then so yeah @klove23

You can start pumping now. If you don't have enough saved you can give him both. But you'll want the person feeding him to know how to pace so he'll still breastfeed, Also you'll want to pump while one vacation so your supply won't stop.

@luuuuuucyyy, oh I totally missed that part lol but I definitely understand that! I feel the same with wanting to go back to work.. I've been pumping and saving though but I just think about if it doesn't end up working out. As for you though, its just a few days, so I would still try to pump just to see what you can get and maybe he could still have some and use formula to supplement

He would take before but it's been months. Just from the 11-16 but I feel almost selfish for that ): @klove23

but yeah just to see and I heard if moms doing both.. do you plan on being gone that long that you would have to wean him off though ?

you would probably have to introduce it slowly before the fact so you can see how Gabe reacts so you can base your decision off of that
Lucy·

Right. that would probably mean me weaning him off ): I mean I can try & pump and see 🤔 @klove23

why don't you start pumping and saving? by then you'll have enough saved for him for when you're gone

You can't pump and freeze for those dates?
