Hello!
My bb is about 3 months and is still on total breastmilk. I've returned to work and in another 1.5 months will start to travel extensively (5-6 trips in the next 4 months) until the year ends and as much as i want to breastfeed, it may become impossible as these trips are far (2 Europe, 1 US and the rest in Asia), so pumping overseas and bringing milk back is not something i want to consider.
Assuming if i were to stop breastfeeding, is there any chance of restarting breastfeeding when I get back from all my trips? I have heard of medication for mothers who doesn't have enough BM -- is that something I can consider?
Also I know this is a judgement call, but i can't help but feel guilty and selfish about stopping breastfeeding just so i can go back to being the workaholic that I am! It's not possible for me to quit my job but the fact that I enjoy my work makes me feel guilty about thinking about stopping breastfeeding!
