Within the past year, I had a call from a mom who was here in Hawai'i on vacation with her husband and toddler. She left her 6 week old at home with her mother. The baby was being fed abm as mom didn't leave much milk. If she felt she had to leave one of her children home---why not the toddler? She had a pump with her and had to spend her vacation around her pumping schedule. Ignoring the other issues here, wouldn't nursing her baby be more convenient? I think by the time this mom called me they had been here about two weeks and her supply was dwindling. They were still going to be here for another week. I gave her some suggestions to help with her supply, but also told her that even with pumping she still needed her baby at her breast to keep her supply up. I don't know whatever happened with this family. Mom didn't seem to be bothered about the decision to leave baby at home and was surprised and not too happy at the info I gave her in regards to her supply.
