In mid-April, I have to go on a business trip to Florida and I cannot decide whether I should bring LO. I need advice! Sorry this is so long.

LO will be 1 year old at the time of the trip and I have yet to leave him for more than 6 hours. I bf and he still eats frequently (I work at home). The conference I have to attend is 2 days (one full day and a half day) and is in Fort Lauderdale (I'm in SoCal). My mom could come with me and LO and we could either fly out the day before the conference or two days before the conference (to have an extra day to do something fun). LO hasn't been on a plane yet and it's a 5 hour nonstop. I have no clue how he will do on the flight but he's an active guy so I imagine it will be a challenge for sure. If we fly out the day before the conference, we'll travel all day and then settle in in the evening. The next day will be a full conference day for me (I'll be able to go up to the room a few times to nurse during breaks). The third day, I'll have a half day and then we would fly back in the evening.

Here are my main dilemmas:
Am I being selfish to tote LO and my mom along when it will would be a short trip and so much travel time? Would it be better to keep him at home with DH and family caring for him while I'm gone? I seriously cannot decide. I REALLY don't want to spend three days away from him, but I'm not sure what would be best for him. The idea of having to pump so much is such a bummer. And I also worry about how all of this would impact his sleep (he's always been a terrible sleeper and it's always a work in progress).

Thanks bees! I so appreciate this place.
