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
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
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
