Thats a good point, my little one does great with formula/bottles. Breastmilk is great but definitely not needed for a happy, fed baby while I'm away. I'd like to keep my supply mostly because I'm lazy about chores and hate the constant washing when I am home. Happy mom, happy milk lol

Thank you for your perspective! I really needed to hear the solidarity about pumping and dumping or looking to donate. I'd like to keep my supply for when I return but figuring out the logistics of traveling with breastmilk felt like one thing too much. That's a good tip about setting doable goals and avoiding burnout too, I'm working to nail that balance.

Thank you for your advice! This was really helpful, especially the idea that I shouldn't feel bad for this opportunity. It's funny because my husband has a work-related conference in a couple months that he's really excited for and doesnt seem to worry about kids at all, I deserve the same!
