Breastfeeding and working? You can do this, and I want to help.

Picture
You're in the midst of newborn smiles, sleepy cuddles, and piles (and piles) of diapers, and then the thought crosses your mind - how on earth do I prepare for my return to work? 

This is where I have a goal. I want you to be confident in your return to work plan. I want you to know what to expect, know that you have an excellent plan to maintain your milk supply and feed your baby, and I want you to know that not only can you do this, but you can crush it!

I have prepped for a return to work (x's 4!) Each time was different, but I absolutely remember all of the questions I had as well as each unique challenge I experienced with different babies.

What will we discuss during a return to work consult?

The short answer is absolutely everything you want to know. We will talk about how breastfeeding is going for you, and we will
:
  • Talk about when you are returning, and how to store milk.
  • Talk about milk storage guidelines and tips.
  • Talk about how to use your pump efficiently.
  • Cover flange size and pumping routine.
  • Discuss how much milk your baby needs.
  • Discuss bottle-feeding the breastfed baby.
  • Make a customized care-plan for your return to work based on your schedule and the time, places, and items you have available to you.
  • Discuss care-giver tips for the breastfed baby, including how to bottle-feed your baby and protect the breastfeeding relationship. This also includes tips for how to comfort and care for the breastfed baby.
  • And so, so much more.​
