need some advice about being away for a weekend

I'm the Matron of Honor in my Best Friend's wedding in Aug. She is wanting to go to Vegas for her bachelorette party sometime in July, leaving early Friday and coming home late on a Sunday. I EBF, have never given DD a bottle and never planned on doing so. I want to EBF till she's at least a year old. I'm not sure what to do, I would feel horrible if I did not go. But I would need to find someone that can watch my DD, my DH works a lot and 14hr shifts. The only other person is my Mom who also works weekends, she's trying to figure out if she would be able to watch her. But then I don't know about pumping, how often I should be doing it and how much I need to stock up on. What if she wont take the bottle? What would I do about my milk supply while i'm gone? I don't want my milk supply to go down and I know my breasts will be engorged...I'm also afraid if she ends up taking the bottle she wont want me when I come back :( Any other moms who BF had to deal with something like this?

    I should add that I am seriously questioning whether I should go. I would feel horrible for leaving my DD, haven't left her for more than 20min with my DH while I got my eyebrows waxed down the street. But my Best Friend came to my bachelorette party when

    I think it really depends on if this would be the only reason for you to pump and introduce a bottle. If so, maybe it isn't worth the worry, as sad as it would be to miss the trip. Many of us have introduced the bottle already for various reasons. Persona

    Just pump a little every now and then and have her take a bottle here and there. She will still want you and your supply will be fine! If anything, it's in both of your best interests to have a small stash, as you never know if something will happen where

    I was nervous about my dd wanting the bottle vs. nursing when I went back to work this past week, but it is quite the opposite. My lo wants to eat as soon as I walk in the door, it doesn't matter if she just had a bottle or not. I was so relieved when she
