I would say call wendys and see if it's okay to bring baby to orientation with you. for the ladies saying she needs to wait, if her Dr has released her then she can go to work. bonding is bonding that baby is not gonna forget momma by her going to work. if she is the only one providing for baby then y'all should be praising her for stepping up and being a parent instead of expecting the govt. to pay for everything like a lot of girls from my town do.

I applaud you for working for your baby to have what baby needs and not caring what others say. I wouldn't!

I say you're one heck of a mama! Being a mom is already a challenge as it is and not having people to support or help out when you're trying to make ends meet can be even more challenging. I say do what's best for your you and your baby. no one is in your shoes and dealing wit your situation. know when to slow down, find the balance, etc. but it's really all up to you.

Also baby needs to bond with you! you need to keep her on you 100% until you go back so she is still attached to you when you start work again later.

is her father working? I say do NOT work because you could easily exhaust yourself trying to do it all and that will lead to ppd or infections or collapse and you could end up in the hospital. then baby won't be breastfeeding anymore, the last thing you want is to get too sick. at least take off 3 more weeks. then go back in. call Wendy's and explain how exhausted you are. they will understand. or see if you can do orientation today and start in another month!

the more you feed her the more milk you produce, so the only advice I really have is to feed her a lot so that you can hopefully get a pump
