Hi,
I just wanted to see what people's experiences or knowledge was with this. My DD is 29 months. She still nurses several times a day, but she is night-weaned. If she wakes up in the night, and I'm nearby, she'll take the opportunity tho. She nurses some for comfort, and sometimes for boredom I think, and just general connection, as well as some hunger.
Anyway, I've been offered a work position (I don't work out of the home at all right now, and have not since she was born) that would involve my going across the country for a few days in November. I've never left her for even an over-night, but I'm quite sure she could handle that. She has woken up in the morning once or twice when I was gone and she did ok (DH was there).
Anyway, I assume I'd have to do a little pumping on the trip to keep my milk going, but I thought I'd see how others have done with this, if anyone has done it. I'm most worried about how she'll do emotionally, and I know everyone is individual with that, but I wanted to see what the experiences were out there. I would be ok with it if she decided to wean during that time, but I doubt she would.
I can so 'no' to the opportunity pretty easily also. But would hate to pass it up if everything is likely going to be fine.
Thanks!

i'm not sure she noticed i was gone the first day, actually. she totally went back to bfing the minute i got back, which made me happy, and we continued for a couple more years.
