[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you might end up with a great supply and pumping before work, during lunch and right after is totally doable. Once your supply is established you can also nurse just mornings and evenings -- your body will adjust and you will likely be able to maintain that supply. I highly recommend visiting a top notch lactation consultant (at the Breastfeeding Center if you're in DC).[/quote] This. I work in a clinic, generally have no time between patients. I pump at home before leaving or before baby wakes (also nurse- supply/demand), pump during lunch, pump in car after work or stay to pump again if there’s time. Feed on demand at home. It’s intense, but doable. You have to protect your lunch break though. If that’s too much I’d plan to try while on leave and bring pump to work to wean slowly. [/quote] OP here. I take public transportation to and from work. I work 8:30 - 4:30. It will be too stressful to try and keep up a supply while working. [/quote]
