@razieloran Thank you so much for your input, it was so helpful! I think there's room to ask that my husband and little one join for a bit. That would definitely help me. I think what I appreciated most about your comment was the perspective of your babe. I think I'm under the impression that...

@bible_follower Unfortunately no it's a hands on course teaching some lab techniques. But I really like your idea of finding an alternative, I will do some research and see if I can find a solution. Thank you. I REALLY don't want to leave for 2 weeks.

@nayorinde Thank you!!

@pandorra Lol I do fear for my boobs. And your statement about making it work because you had to rings true for so much of motherhood and being a working mom. My husband is actually primary care, which makes me feel lucky but also cue the mom guilt for feeling like I'm missing out. Anyway thank...

@cassmith I'm leaning heavily towards no. I frequently feel let down by the lack of understanding and support for moms in the workplace (and in general) sometimes. Hopefully I'm worth more to my company than this 2 week course.

@sparkymcgee You must have been physically and emotionally exhausted. How did your little one handle the separation?

@whitedoveupnorth It just feels so weird to be away from them!

@yepishin This! It's so hard to be away but I think it's really important especially if it's just a couple nights! Good for you I love that date night idea.

@jabe It's a 2 hour drive (I considered commuting but would have to leave before he woke up and return after bedtime!). I think I will need to negotiate a day off or family visit in order to make this work. My husband works seasonally and is primary care right now, so I think we could swing it...

@ezzeking Right! This would be such a sad and meaningless way for our breastfeeding journey to come to an end or even struggle.

@timbohemia Seriously the validation I needed. Thank you!

@oceansdeep You are awesome, thank you for this.

@southwest Lol! Thank you :)

@cdburnette Thank you!!

@anotherblowhard Yeah, I really don't want this stupid course to be the end of my BF journey. Thank you!!

@cah5896 I just got back from 3 nights away, my first time ever away and it was brutal. Huge wake up call for thinking about this 2 week course. Thanks for your comment!!

@cosmostar Thanks for this! It's so tough to be away.

@nancy7 This puts me at ease! Kids really are resilient. I think I project my own feelings onto my baby and think about him just sitting around wondering where I am when really he's having a blast with his dad lol.

@cins It's a 2 hour drive one way :( I like the idea of having my son + caregiver come stay a couple of nights if worse comes to worst and I really do have to go. Thank you!

@faithfull_fella Thank you! This is validating.
