Breastfeeding?

Question

I'm planning on breastfeeding when my baby is here 😁 but I also plan on going back to work about 2 months after baby's arrival. I'll pump and have baby drink breast milk from a bottle. 
I'm just wondering if my supply will dry up being away from my baby for most of the day? 
This will be my first child & I dont know any other working mommas who breastfeed.. any advise or input will help!
Thank you!

Answer

You’re legally required to be allowed to pump at work so take advantage of that and pump every 2-3 hours. If you don’t do that then more likely than not you’ll dry up and most likely get some clogged ducts or mastitis

Answer

Nah your supply will be fine as long as you continue to pump.... what helps when I pumped at work was watching videos and picsof baby, it helps your letdown and get more milk out :)

Answer

Pump often and make sure to drink tons of water and eat! I know so many mommas who were so busy at work they didn’t have time to eat and their supply dried up because of that. Also, remember that baby goes through growth spurts so it may need more/less around those times! It doesn’t mean you’re not producing enough, just that baby might be changing it’s eating habits!

Answer

You’ll need to pump roughly every 3 hours (about as often as the baby is eating) for your supply to stay up. 
You can do it!
