Should I Keep Breastfeeding When I Go Back To Work?

Returning to work after having a baby is a stressful time for so many mothers. But knowing that you've chosen to continue breastfeeding your baby even when you're working can ease the transition. In fact, you, your baby and your employer will all enjoy the benefits. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breastfeeding for at least 12 months. Statistics show that the longer babies are breastfed, the greater the health effects for both mother and baby. Good news for you, your baby and your boss, since a healthy baby means fewer absences from work for mom.

Still, choosing to breastfeed once you're back at work does take some planning. You'll need plenty of family and workplace support, an effective, efficient breast pump and a good quality, easy to use breast milk storage method.
