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.

I'm going to echo what others have said. If you're going to be nursing, it will be a big challenge, but the bigger issue is that you're most likely not going to want to leave B for that long. You'll still be sporting some major hormones that will make it hard to be away for a few hours, let alone an overnight. I did not do a weekend away from my son until he was 9 months. I did not do two weeks away until he was 5 and 1/2.

BUT, it is an amazing opportunity and its not wrong to want to take advantage of it.
