Today we are talking about the postpartum period and going back to work. There is a lot to learn in the first year of baby’s life, and it can be difficult to find the information that will be helpful when going back to work as a mom.

Emily Carrol is a mama to six and a full-time nurse. She was blessed to be home with her first five children. She went back to work six weeks after her sixth baby was born. This was new for her, and it was difficult. She had to learn how to navigate lactation breaks in a demanding, fast-paced job. This was a new experience and a new challenge.

I ask Emily how she learned to navigate a job, co-workers, her boss, and her rights as a woman that needs lactation breaks.

Emily wants us to think about pumping in a simplified way. It is important to not think about a full bottle but thinks about keeping breast milk supply up by stimulating your lactation. Think this way, “I need to sit down this many times______ for this much time______ in one shift.” By thinking this way, mama will alleviate the stress that she has to sit until a bottle is filled. Stimulating the breast will make sure the milk supply is obtained. If mama has time to get a full bottle then take that opportunity, but if there isn’t enough time then take what time is possible.

When thinking about your co-workers practice approaching them by saying, “I need to do this_____ for this much time_____. You can reach me this way.”

Attempt to reduce the stress that other co-workers have to cover your work. Take time to communicate and be thoughtful to support co-workers. They are doing mama a favor, and mama can do a favor for co-workers. Offer co-workers a coffee break upon returning from a break. This will make a huge difference.
