Giving the
mother personal time
Occasionally, mother might need to go somewhere without
the baby, whether for an appointment or if she feels she
needs a break. Sometimes, a mother might just like to take a
long relaxing bath without having to worry about baby, or go
out shopping alone or with a friend for a couple hours. She
can nurse baby just before leaving and be back for the next
feeding. In case of an emergency or delayed return, she can
leave some of her expressed milk in the freezer. As long as
baby has been fed before mother leaves, he is usually happy
and contented with father.
