Traveling without baby

I work for a huge company and love my job so will definately be going back to work after baby is born. We will get a nanny as DH and I both work long hours and daycare closes at 6pm. Yesterday I got a call asking when I plan on returning from Mat leave as they would like for me to go to Europe for a week.... Team building yada yada. As much as I am super excited about the prospect of going to Europe for the company I would probably have literary just returned to work. I am freaking out about leaving DH with a 3 month old. Do you think it is too soon to travel away from home when baby is so young?

    Fortunately, DH will have the Nanny, and you have time to plan for it if you do choose to go but my biggest questiong is: Will you be breast feeding? If so, a week out of the country may not be a good idea.

    I agree - it's breastfeeding that makes travel difficult.  I don't have to travel for work so the first work trip I had was about 9 months out for four days and I brought back a ton of milk.  Luckily, DD would drink my frozen milk at the time (later she wouldn't).

    I'm in a similar situation...I have an event that I'm working on that is planned for October and my boss would like me to be there.  Even though it could be a week or two before I'm actually expected back to work...I'm due at the beginning of July.

    I am also nervous to leave but figure if it's not in October it will be soon there after.  I guess the breastfeeding is an issue if I'm still doing it by then.  I would imagine you could pump...although a weeks worth might be a lot?  I'm not sure.  Good luck with your decision and trip.

    I trust my DH completely, so yes--even though i would miss my baby, I know she will be in good hands
