Breastfeeding working moms

Has any breastfeeding moms gone back to work yet? I'm supposed to be going back to work on February 3rd, but I can't get any milk stashed. My baby is glued to my boob almost 24/7. I can't even take breaks to eat or go to the bathroom without her screaming. She's 6 weeks old today and has been like this since the day she was born. She won't take a pacifier and she won't sit in her bouncer or swing. I don't know how I'm going to be able to pump enough milk. Someone please help!

Answer

I have a little silicone "pump" that I suction onto the other side while she's nursing to catch my letdown. I usually get 0.5-1 oz at a time so I wait till I get 2oz and freeze it for when I go back to work. My daughter tends to cluster feed in the evening so I just use it in the morning or if i feel really full. I think the name brand is haaka but I ordered a zerlar (I think that's the off brand) for like $11 on Amazon. I love it!

Answer

Try pumping one side and feeding on the other first thing in the morning. It's when you have the most milk. You only need one day worth after that you will pump your bottles while at work
