Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

I havnt had my baby yet so maybe I would feel different when she’s here but if you trust your mum then I would go for it. I’m not lucky enough to have any close family I would be happy to leave my baby with but I feel like it would be nice for you to spend time away with your partner because that relationship is important too and you will both come back so refreshed Mexico is beautiful! Or if you really don’t feel ready is there an option to move the date of the trip?

I think if your concern is latch issues, then at 7 months breastfeeding is pretty well established..
You could try and book with a lactation consultant, health visitors, or similar if you're really worried to get advice from them?

I'm sorry you're not finding the answers you're looking for. I don't have any experience with this so I'm sorry I don't have advice but I can totally understand your anxiety about the situation. That's a lot to take on. All I would say is try to make the most of your vacation and enjoy some relaxation.

Ive spent 4 days away from my 6mo old breastfed baby and came back to nurse with no issues. At 7 months old, you've already established a strong connection with your baby, they won't forget you or how to nurse ♥️ you can always leave a few "dirty" shirts that smell like you with your mom so she can keep them near when feeding. That way your baby can still smell you and keep that comforting association

If you have severe anxiety about leaving your baby is it to do with latching or to do simple with leaving your baby and being in a different country? If you are feeling such severe anxiety around it me personally I either wouldn’t go or would bring baby with me. This is coming from someone who had severe anxiety leaving her son with anyone and at 10m still hasn’t but has gotten calmer. 7 months to me is still very young especially breastfeeding. It’s down to you though and what you’re comfortable with tbh no one can make that decision but you X

Do you use birthing cloths? If so put a few down your top and snuggle a few of her blankets in bed. This will help get your scent on them. Then your mom can hold onto them when she is feeding. So little one can still smell you

Can’t you take the baby with you? A week is quite a long time to go away for your 7month old. Esp if you’re anxious about things.

For context my son is 2 and I’ve not had a night away from him. A week is a really long time.

What concerns you about leaving her with your mom? Do you feel like your mom won’t know what to do? At 7 months she definitely won’t forget you after only a week and she won’t forget how to nurse. She’s old enough to be without you for a bit. Sounds like you could use the vacation!

My daughter is 3 and I’m expecting my second in July. I still have not left my daughter longer than a weekend do to anxiety. But you totally deserve a trip. I would recommend start strictly bottle feeding now all the way leading up to the trip. Make sure she has a bottle/nipple she latches with. She won’t forget you, she will just be extremely happy when you’re back and she can get the good stuff from the source.

This would stress me out too tbh not even the breastfeeding part just being away from my baby for a week. To me it wouldn’t be worth taking a “vacation” if I was gonna be anxious the whole time. Personally I’d thank my husband for the present and ask if we could postpone or do a little weekend getaway close to home so I could feel like I could get back if I needed and it wasn’t so long of a trip.

a week without the baby sounds crazy
