best baby backpack for travel image
Michael
My baby is now a month old. She is currently both breastfed by her mother and given a bottle (which contains pumped milk, not formula). We want to go on a vacation when the baby will be 3 months old, where the baby will be left with her grandmother. If our daughter is given a bottle for those 4 days, when we get back, will she be able to go back to breastfeeding? Any personal experience or insight would be great.
Answer
I think that it is very unwise to leave a 3 month old baby, even if not breastfeeding. There is no way to explain to the baby where mother is and when she will be back. And there is no guarantee that she will go back to the breast when the mother returns. Plus, mother will have to pump regularly day and night in order to preserve her milk supply and be comfortable while away (at least every 3 hours) with a large, double electric pump. Babies whose mothers disappear, even temporarily, have been known to grieve for them.
Have you considered taking the baby with you? Babies are easy to travel with at this age, especially when breastfeeding. All you really need is a baby carrier and a backpack for diapers and some extra clothing. My babies always slept well at the beach under an umbrella and towel.
Even if the mother is currently considering such a trip away from the baby, she might well have second thoughts in 2 months and be reluctant to go away. Is she enthusiastic about this idea?
In answer to your question about the baby going back to exclusive breastfeeding: maybe the baby will start breastfeeding again. But it might take several days and a lot of effort on the mother's part when she returns, and the baby will have to go back to exclusive breastfeeding, at least temporarily (no bottles at all).

Would the Lesportsac Voyager Backpack be suitable for highschool?

I really love the style of the backpack and I've been told that it's roomy enough for books and binders but I want to know if it will last and if it's worth the price. I really need help with this before school starts In August. Thanks.
Answer
I think that backpack is fine for travel or even as a baby bag, but to use everyday and hauling textbooks and notebooks, I don't think it will last. The material is not that durable to withstand sharp corners of hardbound books and notebooks over time. I would stick to a backpack made with either a heavy weight canvas or denier cordura fabric.
