As your due date approaches, it is not uncommon that mothers struggle with concerns about breastfeeding especially if they are going to be returning to work.

Is it worth it? Will I be able to continue after I return to work? If you doubt that you will be able to pump at work is it worth it to start and have to start? Can you do both?

If you have decided that you want to breastfeed and will pump when you return to work how do you go about it? What type of pump should you get? There are many different pumps available; some you rent, some you buy. What is the difference?

How do you store milk? How do you feed it to your baby? How often do you have to pump at work? What type of space do you need?

Will my baby have trouble going back and forth between breast and bottle? Is there an optimal time to start a bottle?

Call or e-mail me and we can discuss these and all your other questions and concerns.

Warmly,
