DS is 8 months old, has been EBF until being weaned and his has about four BFs a day amongst his solids.
I'm due to go back to work in 8 weeks and I am panicking about how working long shifts (I will be out the house for 14 hours) will affect my breast feeding as for 3 days a week I won't see DS at all as he'll be asleep when I leave and asleep when I get back.
I'm worried that I'm going to have to give up BF altogether and do it soon in order to ensure my supply has dried up in preparation for going back to work. My shifts mean that for 2 days a week I will have to go 24+ hours without BFing DS and I just can't see how it's manageable.
Are there any nurse out there who can advise or reassure me?
Thank you
