Travel without baby?

[Sweetserene]

Hi all,

I'd love to get some thoughts on this:

Soon, I may need to do some travel that will take me away from home for 5-7 days. My baby will be 3 1/2 months at that time, and would spend the whole time with his father, who will be off from work. I'm not so worried about the logistics of taking a trip without the baby, but I'm just not sure how he or I will handle it emotionally. Has anyone ever been away from their 3 month old for days at a time? Was the baby okay? Were you okay?

Thanks for the input!!

I took a 3-4 day trip recently away from my 9 month old. I was worried about leaving her, but ended up enjoying actually sleeping at night :) Pumping and dumping was a pain, though. The baby did fine, although it seemed to trigger her seperation anxiety. Since my return, she doesn't like to leave my arms, but she is right at the age that seperation anxiety usually hits. Good luck~
