Whether your goal is 1 week, 1 month or 1 year, a successful and rewarding feeding journey is accompanied with support and resources. As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, I am here to support, educate and connect families to needed community resources. It is never black and white and knowing your choices to meet your feeding goals is key.
Support looks different for everyone through all the stages of nourishing our babies. I am now seeing patients in-person and virtually through the Brooklyn-based practice Ora Feeding.
Returning back to work does not mean the end of the nursing relationship with your baby. As a family starts to transition into a time where the nursing parent will be away from baby, many try to find the balance needed to continue breastfeeding while pumping and storing at work.
I can assist you in making a plan around the return back to work. We will discuss various pump types and all the possibilities around work and continuing to nurse. We will also discuss storing, handling pumped milk and feeding a breastfed baby a bottle.
