Reassurance please!!

My partner is taking our baby out for the first time on his own tomorrow. My best friend is taking me on a spa day which is so lovely (and needed) but I’ve only ever been away from my baby for about an hour tops and that’s with my partner at home with her, he’s never taken her out without me. I have severe anxiety around leaving her so I’m just feeling really apprehensive. She’s breastfed so I’m going to feed her at 9:45 just before I go and then I won’t see her until about 2:30 😢 do you think she’ll be fine without breast milk? She has 3 meals a day but I normally just responsive feed and I feel like that’s too long of a gap without it? Can anyone help me please I’m feeling so guilty about leaving her 😭 He’s a great dad and has planned to take her out to a nice park, go for a walk with her, take her to a cafe but I can’t help feel sick about all the things that could go wrong and I’m not there

If you can deff pump some milk just in case because baby’s are unpredictable at times and better safe than sorry

Otherwise enjoy yourself daddy will do great, I’m happy for you to be going out and enjoying yourself

I would also say to pump so that that's just one less thing you have to worry about. But honestly girl relax. Babies are so much more resilient than we give them credit for. What's the worst that can happen? She misses a nap or goes an extra hour without being fed and is so cranky that your partner gets a taste of your life? Lol he forgets to change her so she gets a little rash?? So what. What I'm saying is long-term she'll be fine. Enjoy your few hours of freedom

I would definitely say pump, my LO is EBF and doesn't take a bottle but I always pump just incase xx Don't feel guilty, enjoy! 🥳

@Sophia I wish these thoughts were the worst that could happen in my head cause it's a lot worse 😂😭
