Gale Pryor explains the basics of combining work and breastfeeding-how to choose an efficient pump, how to store and transport milk safely, when and how to introduce a bottle, what clothes to wear to work and how to keep them dry. and how a woman can maintain her milk supply when she is pumping and when she is not. Pryor tells how to enlist the support of ones partner and a day-care provider, how to negotiate with the boss over parenting needs, and even how to transform anti-family attitudes in the workplace. She shows why nursing is easier than formula feeding, and how breastfeeding lessens the pain of separation for both mom and baby. With practical advice and warm reassurance, Pryor shatters the myth that working and nursing are incompatible.Amazon.com Review
Going back to work after having a baby? You don’t have to wean your little one. In Nursing Mother, Working Mother: The Essential Guide for Breastfeeding and Staying Close to Your Baby After You Return to Work, Gale Pryor has written a nuts-and-bolts guide for nursing and working at the same time. Pryor breast-fed each of her two children while working full-time outside the home, and her experience and voice of reassurance informs this book. She makes a strong case for breast-feeding: not only is it good for your baby, but many working women find that it is the easiest way to care for their child, and for themselves. Early chapters cover breast-feeding basics. Later chapters focus on preparing to go back to work, instructions on pumping (equipment and positioning), how to manage life at home and at work, and how to cope if you “fall apart” when your baby is six months old (common among new mothers who work outside the home). The book describes a typical day of pumping and nursing for babies of various ages, how to combine nursing and formula feeding, and how to stop leaking breasts (discreetly press on your nipples with the back of your forearms or with your elbows). Appendices include a list of resources for nursing, working mothers and a sample proposal for pumping space.
