Pumping and Returning to Work
Navigating the challenges that come with returning to work can be a stressful time for many families, but it does not mean the end of your breastfeeding relationship. During a back to work consultation, we will devise a customized plan that includes a pumping schedule for you, a framework for your baby’s care providers that ensures they are well-fed while also protecting your breastfeeding relationship, and reviewing strategies for bottle feeding that ensure baby does not develop a flow preference. . A pumping consultation also includes a detailed tutorial on how your pump works, ensuring your flanges are properly sized utilizing my library of flanges ranging from 10mm-30mm in size, a discussion of evidence-based strategies to increase pump output, and reviewing milk storage guidelines.
