Moms know nursing is best but how do you nurse your child if you have to return to work? The answer is to use breast pumps. The point of a breast pump is to help you get enough milk out to feed your baby when you are not around. For example, if your baby needs six ounces of milk every four hours and you are working eight hours a day then you need to pump at least 12 ounces of milk per day. This will allow your baby to have mother’s milk while you are working. That way you will not feel quite as guilty about going back to work because you know that your baby will have your milk. It is hard to pump your milk every single day and sometimes let down can take longer since your baby is not with you. But, your body will become accustomed to it in time and you will find pumping becomes part of your day. It requires a significant commitment to give your child breast milk and pump every single day. However, it is a wonderful option for working mothers to ensure their baby is getting the milk designed just for them. An Ameda breast pump is a great starter pump although there are many commercial grade pumps out there and others as well that you can choose from.
