Returning to work

Hi all,

I am looking for some advice and support in returning to work in a month. Currently my baby is exclusively breast fed with 1 bottle of pumped milk as I’m trying to transition to pumping for when I return to work. She takes a bottle just fine so there isn’t any problems there. I never thought I had issues with my supply and probably am considered a “just enougher”. Does anyone have any tricks for transitioning from EBF to EP at 12 weeks? I do have a small stash from when I was newly post partum.

With that, I recently found out i am going to be working entirely different hours than I was before and taking a pay cut. I feel so anxious and stressed out about returning to work it’s definitely affecting my supply. Has returning to work affected your supply? What did you do to help with it?

I’m dreading going back to work. I am so sad at the thought of it. Any advice for on navigating those emotions would be so helpful too.

Thank you all!!
