Breastfeeding keeps you connected to your baby, even when you are away at work, and your baby will continue to receive the best nutrition possible.
After you have your baby, arrange with your employer to take as much time off as you can, since it will help you and your baby get into a good breastfeeding routine and help you make plenty of milk.
If you can't breastfeed your baby directly during your work breaks, plan to leave your expressed or pumped milk for your baby. The milk can be given to your baby by the caregiver with a bottle or cup. Some babies don't like bottles; they prefer to breastfeed. So, be patient and give your baby time to learn this new way of feeding. Babies may better learn other ways of feeding from their dad or another family member.
You can help your baby practice bottle-feeding by giving him or her a bottle occasionally after he or she is around four weeks old and well used to breastfeeding. During these practice times, offer just a small amount (an ounce or two) of milk once a day.
Before you deliver, talk with your employer about why breastfeeding is important, why pumping is necessary, and how you plan to fit pumping into your workday, such as during lunch or other breaks. You could suggest making up work time for time spent pumping milk. If your day care is near your workplace, try to arrange to go there to breastfeed your baby during work time.
Request a clean and private area where you can pump your milk, preferably some place other than the bathroom. You also need a place to wash your hands and your pump parts.
You can start pumping and storing your milk before you go back to work so that you have lots of milk stored and ready for the first week when you are away from your baby. It is helpful to copy your baby's feeding schedule when coming up with your pumping schedule. Pumping patterns are affected by your breast size and milk storage capacity, so pay attention to your breasts. When they start to feel full, pump until your milk stops spraying and then for a few more minutes each time. Don't wait until they are very full and swollen. Expect each breast to make about one ounce of milk every hour
