Von,
I know that there are a few working moms in the group. Hopefully they will post with their experiences. I have a lot of information an links for you too. You are doing such a good job. Working and pumping is situation that needs getting used to and having unsuportive people around you makes it even tougher. Just remember that You are the decision maker and they don't have a say in what happens in you and your son's life. You are doing the best thing for him. Think of all the immunities he will have to fight colds and things in the child care setting. And what a great way for you two to stay connected.
I will post some links and info in just a little bit. Keep up the good work!

Are there any other moms that are working and nursing? It would be nice
to hear from others that have lived through it to tell about it! I'd
really like to hear from others that have been there. I am not new to
nursing but I am new to having to use daycare and bottles while trying
to breastfeed. My son just turned 3 months old and I worry that he
isn't getting enough. These are big changes for both he and I. We have
plenty of people already asking me if I am STILL nursing him and how
long is "that" going to go on :-( For crying out loud he is only 3
months old! Anyhoo I dont want to hear anymore negativity. Working is
NOT an option. I did mangae to rent a pump and thank heavens for that!
The co workers have been...nice as it is my first week back. They
ofcourse view the milk as disgusting and gross. I had one Nurse look at
it to see how weird it was. I honestly dont know whats wrong with these
people! I'm trying not to stress out. If anyone has any tips from their
own experiences I am open to suggestions. The silly coworkers dont
bother me so much as him continuing to grow happy and health.
Does anyone know of a good website with percentiles or ht/ wt growth
charts for breastfed babies?
Thanks a million!
Von
