XP: bfing and work travel

Posted on working moms board but would love your advice.

I go back to work aug 13. I'm supposed to roll back onto the project I was managing when I went out on maternity leave. Here's the thing... It may require quite a bit of travel.

I've been EBF. In addition, don't think I want to leave LO a bunch...

Anyone else been in this position before? I may be able to switch with my boss and he can run the project an I would run the PMO instead but don't think that's best career wise although LO is definitely my priority...

    Yep, I am facing this, I have three business trips coming up in September each one is 5 days

    I am freaking out about them.

    I have about 200 oz frozen right now and am freezing about 10 oz a day so I should be ok with supply.  But I really do not want to leave him for so much time.

    I realize every situation is different, but my honest opinion is if someone else can cover it... let them. I'm back at work and learning very quickly to say "no" when I have to. Best for my career? Probably not. Best for my work - life balance? Probably. I figure I have a decent excuse if my career - minded attitude isn't the best right now. I purposely do daycare pickup so that I HAVE to leave the office at 5:30 every day. My husband works from home and has way more flexibility than I do, but I did it this way on purpose. I don't want to set the precendent that it's "business as usual" with me. Could this ultimately bite me in the arse? Potentially so. But for the here and now, it's what's best for me and LO.
