I have to go back to work after Christmas:( Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad
I have no idea whats going to happen with my Bfing? I'm going to have to work full time fri to monday.

I need to give advanced notice in writing that i will be still bfing when i go back. What do i write in this letter?

I'm getting a bit worried about how Kaydi is going to cope with the sudden changes. She can't be settled with out a bf when she gets really upset.

:help: Sad

Well I went back to work when lil miss was only 5 months old and continued breastfeeding. I worked full time monday to Friday too..

It wasn't nice... I wanted to be at home with my lil miss more than anything... but it really wasn't an option financially.

Lil miss was the same,... could only be comforted by boob for a nap and as she was still mostly bf'd at the time, it was hard because she wouldn't take milk from a bottle. But over time the people who were looking after her found ways of dealing with her... my mum was the best Wink

One positive aspect about working and breastfeeding though is this... Every time I come home from work... lil miss is waiting for me. She is the most happiest person in the world when she sees me, she goes mad, screaming and giggling and immediately jumps into my arms for a cuddle... Then we go sit on the sofa and she has a very long booby cuddle, where she makes up for all the milk she didn't have when I was away. And she loves it... Its an amazing experience that I get to experience every day.. Its my reward for having to work and its worth every hour that I work. Very Happy

Just to help put a postive spin on something I know feels wrong right now.. :aww:

Clairelana - If the intention is to express at work then you do need to let them know so they can make arrangements to find you somewhere private to express - note this is not a legal right but employers are strongly advised to provide somewhere to express.
You may also require a risk assessment, particularly if in your job you handle materials which could be harmful to health.
I returned to full time work when Tiny Terror was 8.5 months. Only expressed for about a week as I wasn't getting much out and what I was getting out TT wasn't drinking. He is over 11mo and still bfing!!
Oh and TT was a baby who would only settle with booby but he has adapted to nursery beautifully and the staff always tell me what a happy little chap he is!

Tell us about yourself : People who have kids by more than 3 different men are SLAGS. They don't give a shit about the welfare of their children, otherwise they would be keeping their bloody legs shut and creating a STABLE environment for their kids, either in a stable relationship or as a single mother - because single mothers are perfectly capable of being fantastic parents. If you want to sleep around use some fucking contraception until you are sure your partner is in it for the long haul, it is not fucking difficult. Kids need stability - they don't need a succession of men coming in and out of their life.
