I am going back to work in a month. What do I need to do to prepare?

Parental Leave/Work

My baby is EBF and often nurses to nap. We don’t really keep a schedule of when to feed — it’s very on demand and based off of vibes.

I know I need to pump and start getting her used to a bottle and a more regular feeding schedule. Anyone have tips / advice about this?

What are the other things I need to start making sure I do with my baby to help prepare her for the transition?

She is 5.5 months now but will be 6.5 months when I start my job. Feeling pretty nervous about it…

Thank you 💕
