Breastfeeding And The Working Mother
Returning to work is always a daunting thought, with finding a caregiver and how to continue feeding your baby usually being the most difficult choices to make. Here are some options:
Always keep in mind that your feeding option can be left until a few weeks before you go back to work. You could also start with option one and follow through to option four over a period of weeks or months once back at work.
Allow your baby's caregiver to spend plenty of time with your baby before you return and ensure that she fully understands how you want to continue feeding your baby.
