[quote=Anonymous]I’d have done it without hesitation, but my husband was always a 50/50 partner from the start. I didn’t have any magical mom knowledge that he didn’t have, we were both just finding our way through together, and he’s so big and warm that babies fall asleep on his chest like magic. I nursed and pumped from early on, so the baby was used to taking both interchangeably, and was happy to accept bottles from either of us. I’d suggest leaving a few of your old, unwashed tshirts for him to use as burp cloths while you’re gone, so your smell will still be associated with food and comfort and snuggles. The suggestion to stock food in the freezer is good, but even just a Trader Joe’s run before you leave would be fine. He’s not nursing, so a week of junk food won’t hurt either of them. Honestly, I think my husband probably would have secretly enjoyed a week alone with his baby girl![/quote]
