C/M Club: Those who are pregnant or have returned after a baby.. question for you re: bfing

[crace]

I fully intend to breastfeed given all ok and it works out well (fed my dd for 2 years so I am pretty much counting on it) and taking 3 months off. However, I am not sure how that can continue once I go back to work as a c/m. I wouldn't have time to express for him/her like other mums who go back to work, and to be honest I am not sure how parents would feel about me bfing.

I rambled on.. what's everyone planning to do, or what did they do once returning to work?

B/F your baby - why wouldn't you?

If they were at home with their mum, & had a new sibling their mum would B/F

I don't know, I suppose as it can "take a while" depending on the baby. I will be using a sling anyway, but I think I would worry about parents thinking I wasn't able to care for them properly?

Oh god, I'm planning to b/f again, never even thought about parents reactions as a bottle would take time too. I wouldn't worry about it and just breastfeed

NO idea why I am so worried about this.. I suppose if I was out and about I would worry people would think I was giving more attention. Ack, I am weird, I know. I think I will introduce mixed feeding (or ebm) for when we are out and about.

However, my dd never took a bottle and fed constantly her first year so I am slightly worried about that happening again.

Calm down - just think about all the timne you won't be heating up bottles

When you are feeding just let the mindees have free play, or give them some colouring to do. I also used this time to do story time, so we all sat down on the sofa and each child could choose a book for me to read.

Calm down, yes, I will - in about a year. Ha - why when there is so much worrying to do in this line of work?!

Thanks guys - bear with me, I come from America were breastfeeding is NOT the norm, or as widely accepted. I keep forgetting how great England is about it. I think I just needed to hear it was ok. Thanks much!
