All Things Breastfeeding Episode 85: Alicia’s Returning to Work, Travel and Breastfeeding Story


Listen Later

We have another parent interview episode! We were thrilled when Alicia reached out to us from across the country to offer to share different parts of her feeding journey with baby Grant, especially factors related to returning to work and breastfeeding. We discussed Grant’s week-long nursing strike soon after Alicia returned to work, the intense emotions involved, and what helped resolve that difficult time. Next, Alicia gives lots of ideas about traveling and pumping, which she learned from her regular multi-day work trips. Her tips will be helpful to anyone traveling without the baby, and/or flying with a pump. And, make sure to listen to the end about what happened after Grant was done weaning! (If you would like to be featured on an episode, send us an email!)

Resources:

  • Returning to Work private consultation, we normally recommend these 2-4 weeks before your maternity leave ends, but earlier or later (even after you’re back at work) is fine too. In-person or virtual.
  • We also regularly do virtual or in-person milestone appointments on phases like: making a plan for weaning, on nursing strikes if they come up, what feeding looks like after 6 months or after 1 year, etc. We’re with you from the start of your infant feeding journey to the end, whatever that looks like for you!
  • We are happy to also help with nursing strikes, plans for upcoming travel while lactating, or anything else that comes up for you!
