Is it ok? Possibly stupid newbie question ahead...

I have an appointment tomorrow to which I cannot bring LO.  I hope my timing is good and that I am able to leave during nap time, but I am wondering if it's ok to feed her right before I have to go even if it's not time yet?  I will be gone less than 2 hours and she's never had a bottle before.  I was planning on leaving one just in case of emergency, but I kinda hope DH doesn't have to use it.  What would you do?  TIA!

Yep, I do that all the time.  Even if LO is coming w/me, if I'm going somewhere that it won't be convienent to feed her, I'll offer before we leave.  No biggie!

same as pp-i do it all the time.  my lo has basically never refused the breast so even if it's only been an hour since she ate, i'll offer and she'll nurse.

Oh good!!!  Thank you so much!  I feel much better now!

Add me to the "do it all the time" group Before I/we leave the house, I offer to nurse her and then changer her diaper. I also think leaving some milk is a good idea, just in case.
