Business Trip - breast rejection

I have my first business trip planned for April.  It will be five days.  I'm concerned that DD may reject the breast when I return.  I'm curious to hear if other people have had this problem.

    I left DD for about 5 days when she was 6 months old & had no problem going back to BFing.

    I was gone for 4 days and when I came home the first thing I did was BF.  DD was so happy to see me and not have to drink formula from a bottle because my supply for her while I was gone was done.  You should be fine.  DD was 4 months at the time.

    In the past year, I took 3 separate trips away from DS. One when he was 8 months (4 days, 3 nights to Mexico), and then twice when he was 10 months (both trips were 5 days, 4 nights).  He had no problem wanting mama every time I came home.  Actually, I thought he was rather clingy and wanted to nurse very often! 

    Let me know if you need any tips for pumping while gone or flying w/ BM.

    Ditto what everyone has said.  At her age she should be fine. 

     I was gone this week and DD returned to the breast without problems.  The same happened with previous trips.  Definitely more clingy.

    This happened to me in Sept. I went away for 3 days and ended up with an infection, was on antibiotics for 2 weeks and she rejected BFing for about a week after that. it sucked, but I kept trying every day, no pressure, no eraction when she rejected and one day she just went back!

    I use to travel extensively (5 days a week, every week) from when DD was 3 mths until 7 mths and she didnt reject the breast. I pumped and brought milk home so while I was gone she had fresh + frozen milk.
