FTM Breastfeeding and Work

Stefany • I am 24 years old and pregnant with my first child. I work as an office manager at a doctors office.
So I'm going to be a FTM and I want to breastfeed my baby as ik it is best for her. However I am scared with only being on maternity leave for about 8 weeks and then going back to work. Do any mommy's have advice for me with working and breastfeeding? I will deff get a breastpump and switch between boob and bottle but I am still nervous she won't transition well. Please help!!

Introduce the bottle as early as possible. I always breastfed in the morning and during night feelings but had pumped breast milk during the days. Also encourage as many people as possible to help with those during the day feeding a so they don't get used to just your smell while feeding.

Make sure make sure you introduce the bottle. Breastfeed in the mornings and nights and during the day pump and give a bottle. I did the mistake of not giving my daughter a bottle and holy crap I started working when she was 4 months and it was so hard she would not take the bottle ever. My mom had to feed her my breast milk with  spoon, straw ugh it was bad.
