I haven't spent any time away from DD except for the work day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-silently-flipping-out-right-now#post-835012 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 08:36:54 +0000 purrpletulips 835012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>just pump as much as you can while you're away </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-silently-flipping-out-right-now#post-834765 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 07:26:29 +0000 T.H.O.U. 834765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsScallop: Good luck! I have done several business trips and was gone for almost a week and it didn't kill my supply. You can do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-silently-flipping-out-right-now#post-834732 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 07:14:51 +0000 heffalump 834732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never done that long of a trip.... we've only done an over night. But I wouldn't worry too much as long as she's in good hands and people she loves. I was soooo worried about my LO when I was gone, but she loved having grandparent time. When we got back she didn't even pay any attention to us!</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-silently-flipping-out-right-now#post-834601 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 00:03:37 +0000 birdofafeather 834601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice but good luck!! I have my first overnight away from LO in a couple weeks. She's almost 5 months. Keep pumping as you would do if you were with her and look at lots of photos! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-silently-flipping-out-right-now#post-834571 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 23:12:30 +0000 MrsScallop 834571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just booked a week long overseas trip for work in July and I am kind of freaking out inside! This will be my first trip away from LO (who will be 7.5 months at the time) for more than a few hours and I'm terrified things are going to go wrong while I'm away. I've been putting off booking this trip for a long time now hoping I would feel better about it later, but I still feel crappy about it and I spent much more money than I would have if I booked this trip months ago. I am leaving LO with DH and my parents during the week, so I know she will be in good hands, but I can't get rid of this feeling of dread. Ugh.... </p> <p>Anyway, I just needed to get that out. Has anyone else gone on a long trip away from their LOs like this? Did you do anything to help them adjust before you left? Also, do you have any tips for keeping my milk supply up while I am away? I am definitely bringing my pump along, but am worried that being away from her for that amount of time is going to kill my supply and force early weaning. I really want to make it to 1 year of breastfeeding! </p>
