In the weeks leading up to my return to work after maternity leave, I had scoured the internet for the best tips for the transition. One of my goals with Henry has been to be able to breastfeed until his first birthday. I didn't want all of the work we had put into nursing so far to go down the drain now that he would be having 2-3 of his meals a day by bottle. I passed along the resources I had found to my mother-in-law, who would be watching Henry while I was at work. All of the advice I had found worked! We never experienced a nursing strike or a major dip in supply. Henry and I are just about ten months in to our nursing journey, and I know the next two months will breeze by.
I hope this collection of links, articles and charts for going back to work and transitioning your baby's day to a caregiver helps to make the process go smoothly.
I love this article about how a breastfed baby is different than a formula fed baby.
A helpful reminder on how to safely store breastmilk, also how to defrost and warm.
This article, this handout, and this video have information on how to bottle feed a breastfed baby (i.e. Paced Bottle Feeding).
We use this chart to track our baby's day and make communication between parents and caregivers seamless.
I love this article about advice for working moms.
Returning to work can seem almost impossible, but you've got this, Momma!
