I've been breastfeeding for 3 months now and I have to go back to work next week. I'm going to be a waitress and I have no idea how I'm going to manage. I'm considering giving him formula during the day and breastfeeding at night but is that possible? any suggestions?

If you have time (I know it's hard) try to pump between feeds before going back to work that way baby can still have breast milk. If you can't then you can use formula, buuuut as @mychellemabelle said, your supply could dip because your body will think it doesn't need to keep producing milk. It's an awful cycle. When you go back to work you'll have to ask for pumping breaks. Some employers will be shitty about it, and depending on your state they might not have to accommodate you, but please look online and check the rules for your state and see if you can get any extra breaks while on the job.

If you don't pump during the day your supply will drop!
I used to baby sit a little boy who had both it was hard at first when his mom was gone but he got used to it. He still does both and he is 9 months
Breastfeeding information and tips This is a post I've made to help women who are thinking of breastfeeding, or are breastfeeding and may have some questions about breastfeeding. It is also aimed to help women who may be experiencing problems with breastfeeding and may need to know how to deal with these problems because most breastfeeding problems can be sorted.
I think I'm going to do breastfeeding and see how he attaches to me & if not I'm going to put him on breastmilk formula.
#mombassadorchat Happy World Breastfeeding Week! Please share your breastfeeding stories and tips! Hi everyone! @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom here. For today's chat we're going to talk about breastfeeding and pumping in honor of World Breastfeeding Week! Both can seem complicated or stressful, but remember you have lots of support here! With my first son I had things going against us for breastfeeding. I wish I knew back when he was younger that we could have still tried! With my second son I was determined to breastfeed, and even though he was born 11 weeks early I wasn't going to let that stop us from trying to breastfeed! For 7 weeks I pumped every 2 1/2-3 hours on the dot to establish and maintain my milk supply. When your little one is born early they usually need time to master sucking, swallowing, and breathing so I wasn't able to nurse right away. When my son was 33 weeks gestational (so 4 weeks old) we were finally able to latch on, and he did great! By 36 weeks gestational we had successfully started breastfeeding, and today marks 21 months of actual at-breast breastfeeding for us! I am passionate in trying to help moms-to-be and moms with breastfeeding and/or pumping, but I support moms who choose not to or for other reasons cannot breastfeed. Remember, I mentioned I didn't breastfeed my first son. I understand both sides. Breastfeeding isn't always easy, but I believe it's at least worth trying! Please help me celebrate World Breastfeeding Week by sharing your tips, questions, concerns, product recommendations, or anything else breastfeeding and pumping related! If you have a question for @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom, please tag her in the comments below! Or share your advice and feeding stories.
Birth Plan Rant I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?
I Should Have Failed at Breastfeeding I wanted to write down all the reasons I should have failed at breastfeeding. For A. Support for anyone considering quitting, B. It's a sense of pride that I'm still going strong.

the US has a law that requires the work place to give you a discreet place to pump & they must give you a break to pump when needed. I would look into specific laws for your state. pump & leave milk for baby because switching back & forth can cause baby to be extra gassy & cause your supply to drop or completely dry up
