Leaving 2 year daughter for a week

In 7 months time my brother is getting married abroad and my husband and I are arguing about what we should do.

We have been looking at the cost of flights and it is not possible for DH, DD and I to all go.

My DH thinks I should just go on my own but I feel that DD should go with me - she will be only 2yrs and 5 months at the time of the wedding.

DH thinks DD will be OK without me, but I don't feel that I could leave her for a whole week - I've never spent more than 9 hours apart from her - plus at the moment I'm still BF and don't want to have a pressurised deadline to stop BF.

Obviously taking DD costs more for flights, accomodation etc. but I think if we start saving now and make some cut backs we can save enough.

I would go. My dp took dd away for a few days when she was younger than that.

She will be with a parent. They obviously have a good relationship. It will be fine. It will be more than fine. It will be really bonding for them.

Maybe you can take a laptop and skype when youre apart?
