first parenting dilemma

[fox]

I have the opportunity to go to China for two weeks in March.

Himself can't really come with—he wouldn't be able to work—and in any event Blanziflor won't be fully vaccinated by then, at the age of not quite four months.

Part of me really wants to go. Another part doesn't know if I'll be okay being away from my four-month-old for two weeks. Your thoughts welcome.

Two weeks is an eon, when it comes to early infancy. I wouldn't do it, personally. But I also wouldn't judge someone else who did, for the reasons Kass mentions above. When I had the opportunity to spend two weeks in Italy I did it, and the kids were 3 & 8. But I can't imagine doing it when I was still in post-baby protective mama-bear hormone mode.

*hugs* When do you have to decide by?
