How can I keep my milk when back at work?
Flexible scheduling, telecommuting, and job sharing can help. Plan three 15-minute pumping breaks during each 8-hour workday. If your shift is longer than 8 hours, try to add another short pumping session. Double pumping cuts down pumping time, but it is important to pump for 12-15 minutes during each break. Mothers can pump into the same bottles at different pumping sessions on the same day as long as the milk is kept chilled.
Breastfeed often in the evenings and learn how to breastfeed lying down while you rest. Nighttime breastfeeding boosts supply! If your supply is low, breastfeeding or pumping more often is the simplest way to increase supply.
