Part-Time Breastfeeding??

I can’t say from personal experience, but when I was a nanny I worked for moms who only nursed twice a day and they were able to do that for many months.

Good luck with your return to work!

i can answer this one from experience! i had to go to work full time when daisy jane was 6 weeks old. i nursed her part time very successfully. i did pump at work, but i only pumped during my lunch break—–and i don’t even remember if i did that for the whole year. i nursed her in the mornings and in the evenings and during the night when she woke up. this was back in the days when a plunger style pump was the GOOD pump!LOL! your milk supply should adjust to the amount of nursing that you choose to do. however, you could possibly be a little uncomfortable during the adjustment period. you might want to do some “tapering off” pumping during the day at first to make yourself more comfortable. i nursed daisy jane until she was 12 1/2 months old and took her off the bottle at 15 months.

I’m pumping because Bryce has a feeding tube and doesn’t nurse, but I’m only pumping twice a day – once in the morning and once before bed. It’s working fine for me.

with my first son, the ped told us to switch to formula before we knew about reflux and we did so very regretfully. i continued to pump even though he was on formula and after going through numerous kinds of formula, i decided to just go back to nursing unfortunately my supply was very damaged so he could only nurse part time. i was able to do so until he self weaned at 10mths.
