I'm sure that this has been asked a million times before, but I haven't found anything on a search on MN, so I'll ask anyway!
I'll be returning to work full-time in February when DS will be about 8.5 months old ( but don't really have the choice).
Please tell me if my plan is pie in the sky:
- I'd like to breast feed morning and evening
- Send him to nursery with bottles of EBM to have during the day so formula is not required.
Touch wood, I've had no problems expressing up until now, and, yes, I'm already stockpiling in the freezer!
We're doing a really long lead-in to full time at nursery, starting with two or three half-days a week now-ish with a very gradual increase to minimise my likelihood of collapsing into a devastated, guilt-ridden wreck so the transition is easier for him. This will give me some idea of how to manage things, hopefully, but I'd be interested in what others have to say about their experiences with the practicalities of it all.
TIA!
