Question

Has anyone breastfed & formula fed at the same time? My maternity leave is only good for 6 weeks so I'll be going back to work pretty soon after she is born. I was thinking to breastfeed when I'm home with her during my leave; and when i go back to work to breastfeed when I get home & on the weekends and send the formula to daycare. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I work in retail. There isn't anywhere else for me to pump besides the bathroom. & there are cameras everywhere

You're welcome, it's good to know what the law says. &It; says "other than the restroom"

@setsailann, thanks for posting this! I was talking to my staffing coordinator at my job about where I could pump when I go back to work this week and she tried to tell me the bathroom.

Veronica · Answer

by law your job has to let you pump & provide a room (not the bathroom) where you can do it privately.

If you can try and pump and store it. it's hard work but beats the formula but if you have to its ok

allowing pumping at work is pretty much a law now I thought

Kristina · Answer

I think it may! But you may get too full because you need to nurse. Do you have Facebook? There's an amazing breastfeeding group called Breastfeeding the struggles we overcome. It's so great! Also Google Kelly Mom because it's a great resource!

I would love to, but unfortunately I won't be able to. So just breastfeeding after work won't be enough to keep up the supply?

Kristina · Answer

Are you going to pump at work? If not your supply will get low.
