How to pause BF while on biz trip?

[yll105]

Hi,

My dd is 5 mos and i'll be leaving on a business trip for a week when she's 6 mos. 
She's now on a 3.5hs easy routine, but my main concern is the feeding issue.
Dd is ebf and she rarely takes a bottle. We just found a nipple that works for her, but she still plays around with the nipple and takes 1 or 2 oz at the most. I know she will eventually drink from it, but i'm scared of the so called nipple confusion, or that she will refuse bf when i come back.  Also im taking a pump to express some milk and not get mastitis, don't want my production decreasing!! Has anyone gone through this?
I would appreciate any kind of advice.

THanks!

Hiya,
I'm trying to find here a thread about it but can't seem to find it... It's a mum that had to go away for 10 days and was worried about the supply and if LO was going to take the breast again and she had absolutely no trouble.
The two most important things are that you pump while you're away, to maintain your supply. And to BF as much as possible upon your return.
The whole 'nipple confusion' concern is usually for younger babies, although Tracy talked about flow confusion instead of nipple confusion. Your LO at 5/6months should be fine.
I had terrible trouble with DD to get her to take a bottle so with DS, from around 3 months (I think) I started giving one bottle of EBM everyday. Started with the DF, as he would take it better than other feeds and later, when he wasn't DFng anymore the BT feed.
I'll keep looking for that thread...
