I really don't think I will be able to feed DS when I return to work. I do 12 and a half hours as a nurse. I get 3 half hour breaks a day (on a good day) when I will need to eat and relax. I can't really see me able to spend my breaks expressing in the loo. I am responsible for patients in ITU, so I won't be able to take 20 mins to go and express outside of break time. I'm hoping to do some agency first, which may only be 8 hours, so it may be do-able. But I am wondering if whether when I start weaning I should just start DS on formula. He hasn't had any at all so far, and I find that the longer I BF for the more adverse I feel towards introducing the bottle. This isn't supposed to P anyone off, please don't take offence, I just feel I have done quite well and I'm not ready to give up yet! I will have to return to work of some description in around about a month and a half, DS is 20 weeks and I plan to start weaning at the start of next month. Does anyone have any inspiring tales?
