bf babies - expressing milk after bf for over a year

dd has been bf for over a year now and I have never expressed or given her anything in a bottle. Now I am starting a new job and am likely to have to attend residential training courses. I figure I can probably build up a stock of expressed milk for the days I'm away (she's fed just 2 feeds a day - am & bedtime). Trouble is, I don't really want to stop bf completely just yet and am worried that she'll reject me on my return or my expressed milk whilst I'm away. Anyone any experience of this? I know it's not critical any longer, but she really does enjoy her feeds and I'd be pretty upset if it all ended like this.

I missed 1 night completely and didn't express, although my DS was probably a bit older but he went straight back to the breast the next night so if you're expressing, I'm sure your DD will love going back to BF.
