Breastfeeding Question...

Hello fellow mommies...

Well, the day that I've dreaded for 2 months has come. I'm going back to work on Monday:( Its got me thinking about breastfeeding. I've noticed that my breast do not get engorged if I don't breastfeed nor do they get sore. I've been weaning my baby off the breast milk b/c I'll be starting work but I didn't want the milk supply to go down this much. Especially not this quick. How, if possible, do I bring my milk supply back up so that I'm able to breastfeed when I come home from work?

pump, pump, pump, pmup, and pump some more. if yhou cant breastfeed, pump as often as possible. your body will suppply the milkas if you were. thats waht i did when bc i didnt amke enough milk. when she wasnt feeding, i pumped. and it came in like a fountain.

every time that you are taking the milk out either by breastfeeding or pumping your helping your body to make more milk so you are safe as long as you keep doing it...

i also just wanted to say that just because you will be going back to work doesnt mean that you cant still breastfeed or have her at least get your breast milk i hope that helps and makes sence...

you do what works for you and your child good luck
