New Baby Ideas

Archive for the ‘Breastfeeding’ Category

Whilst we all know that breastfeeding gives your baby the best start possible, you may have to stop feeding earlier than you intended, if you are planning on going back to work.

Many mothers now wish (or need in many cases) to continue working once they have had children. A lot of UK employers do give a long maternity leave, so breastfeeding baby for the requisite six months is not going to be a huge issues.

However, if you work for someone who does not give a long maternity leave – or you are US based (***) then you may find yourself back at work before you wish to wean your baby.

This is where you will find an electric breast pump a very useful piece of equipment. See the pages on this site for breastfeeding and breast pumps to give you some ideas and information on how you can best handle this important stage of you and your babies life.

(***) As I am UK based I am not totally sure of the US policy with regards to maternity leave – I am just going on what I have heard in conversations with US based friends who tell me they do not get as long as in the UK – feel free to leave a comment and I will make updates as necessary.
