For moms that work a 9-5 and exclusively breastfeed!!! How did/does it for you?? I'm going back to with on the 14th and getting wic, they are encouraging me to do this since I'm already doing it exclusively . They are big breastfeeding advocates!! They are willing to give me a medulla(sp) double breasted pump if I exclusively feed, no formula!! Idk if I'll be able to do it successfully...I've never done that before.

    I believe your work is required to provide you with a private non bathroom space to pump. I go back in a week and plan to pump every two-three hours.

    I think the above comment is.correct. the school I subbed at for years was required to give their teachers a place to pump throughout the day. Contact your boss/supervisors and see what they are willing to do to help.you make it possible.

    yup, your work is required to provide a private room and breaks by law to pump...i know here in oregon we have HUGE breastfeeding rights and laws

    Thanks you guys , but I meant being successful with my milk supply!! I'm sure my job would be cooperative as far giving me the time to pump.

    Well as long as you pump when you should then your milk supply will remain successful!

    Pump every 2-3 hours at work & breastfeed on demand at home! Thats what im going to do. And WIC gave my a double electric ameda pump, in addition to a compatable ameda habd pump at an earlier visit

    wic will also let you.do both if you need to they just don't give you as much formula as a they do for they ones that don't breastfed I think it's like four cans a month.

    I just started back to work this week and I am tring to pump enough for when he is at the sitter but it is hard. Guess I need to pump some on my off days too

    @traci84lucas pump right after you nurse. You will get the most then cause thats when the let down is strongest

    I have been back at work for 5 Weeks pumping during the day and BF in the afternoons and night. I try to pump every 3-4 his since that is the schedule he is on right now. Its worked out great so far and I'm really glad I chose to do it this way instead off giving it up. I enjoy the bonding time in the afternoons after a long day at work.
  • traci84lucastraci84lucas
    @Proudmommy8789 I don't get much after he feeds
  • Proudmommy8789Proudmommy8789
