Work and life balance!

Hi.. can understand your dilema.. Usually its preferrable if you only breastfeed the baby til 6 months.. so if your baby is exclusively on breastfeed you can continue so by expressing milk using a breastpump... You can freeze the milk or refrigerate it and whoever takes care of the baby can feed him that. Also take the advice of your peds.. incase you wish you can start with formula..

I am under the same dilemma! My baby is also 3 months and i need to join back work in next 2 months. My peadiatrician has advised only breastfeeding till 6 months. Im not sure if expressing milk will sustain throughout the day or should i try formula at this stage to check if my baby digests it.

Hi... My baby is in her third month I need to get back to work in her 5th month... My pediatric has told me to practice feeding and storage of breast milk in bottle... So I have started it. In the night and early in the morning I breast feed her directly... Through the day I bottle feed her... So far so good... You should consult your pediatric immediately and follow the procedure immediately... Avent Philips manual breast pumps are good which am using right now.... But if u can afford u can go for electric breast pumps in Philips. Hope this helps u.

Hi... I am a doctor cum mom of my 5 month baby and will be returning to work anytime. I know being a doctor that exclusive breast feeding for mandatory.... but its not practical for some people like me.. who have to do night duties like me. so I started my little one on complementary feed.. so that even if he doesn't have enough milk in my absence something nutritious goes to him. I started Gerber organic single cereal oatmeal with milk.. and my son is doing well with it. it's bit costly but damm good weaning food. available only on e-bay website.
