Returning To Work and keep the breast feed – If you are returning to work it doesn’t mean that you can no longer breast feed your baby. Once you return to work, you can continue to breast feed. If you live close to work or have an on site daycare, you may be able to breast feed during your breaks.

How if that isn’t possible then you still have 2 choices. First, you can keep your milk supply by using a high quality automatic electric breast pump to express milk during the day. Save your milk that you collect for your baby sitter.

Second, if you don’t want to or can’t pump at work, you can gradually replace daytime feedings with formula while your at home but still continue to nurse at night and in the morning. The milk your body produces may not be enough to keep your baby satisfied, even if you only need enough for feedings. So, keep the breast feed though you have to return to work.
