Congratulations for starting your mamma journey! :)
Travel = fun but less time for baby and airbnb and overtime will add more stress.
Online = more time for baby and airbnb but less $$.. if your airbnb works well, it will buy back your loss.
If you work remotely, there is no transport time involved from and to work + maybe you can sometimes do tasks that don't require camera or audio with your baby on you (good for both of you) . Not having to do overtime is a nice plus, especially for mamas.
From your post, it looks like with your upcoming new responsibilities, you would be tired travelling around (even though you liked it), however, you dislike someone taking account of when and how you do things with scrutiny but... for the sake of comfort, you will have to consider some compromises.
*Both departments require discipline and organization - if you are serious about the tasks at hand and don't neglect them just because you're home (and maybe occasionally distracted), it may be advantageous to work from home.
*** I don't think you are betraying the company because you are only switching posts, not the company altogether - but maybe you can talk to your manager about your wishes and concerns, and perhaps they will either choose to promote you and keep you on the same post (if they deem it more important), or they can help you transfer (if the moment is not good, they may temporarily withhold the spot for you so you can transition gradually.
Best of luck and remember no matter which option you choose, you have to make sure it is the one that satisfies your lifestyle the best. Children are happy when their parents are happy :)

@Morrowind Babies actually need round the clock attention and while I do have a partner he has no childcare experience and it's hard to let him handle everything. He doesn't work so he technically does have time. That was my initial plan.
Glad to hear about your experience growing up. I would be ok if my job didn't require me to be away from home 3 nights per week.

@SandWitch Harsh.. Technically once I'm 60 he will be leaving highschool but I get your point.
My mom is 64 right now and she legit has many family members and family friends under 30 who come by her house weekly just to visit her. They go shopping together and even go on trips, and they call her for life advice.
(Makes me jealous cuz I don't have as much time as they do to hang out with my mom)
Young people love her so I'm not sure that age is the issue as far as being able to relate to young people, it's more about mindset.
With that said I do agree that he will only be young once and ultimately my job and coworkers will go away but he will always be my son. It's just hard to suddenly think about switching up my career.
I'd miss travel and the kind of work that I did. It's a pay cut too.
