She'll be fine. Nurse her before you go so YOU don't get uncomfortable while you're out, then enjoy yourself. At 10 months it's very safe for her not to nurse for several hours. Does she eat any food? If so, leave some of her favorites for the sitter so she is happy with those.

Have a great time.

She could probably go several hours.

The problem might be actually taking stuff from a cup or bottle when she isn't used to it.

Either way, she will be fine and will make up for it when you get back.

Have fun.

Well, since a 10 month old is not exclusively breastfed, she could go a few hours without nursing (exemple: my 11 week old can go 5hrs, so a 10 month old should be able to go much longer). Besides, she can have other foods and drinks to keep her full while you ENJOY YOUR NIGHT OUT, WORRY FREE!!! Have fun!

She would be fine, just try to nurse her before you leave. And leave some foods and juices that she can eat and drink with the sitter if she gets hungry.

You could always express some milk and leave it for the sitter. Even if you don't have a pump, you could probably hand express some into a sippy cup or bottle.
