Navigating breastfeeding as an EM physician
In the previous two episodes, we explored some of the challenges related to fertility and pregnancy for EM physicians. In the final episode of our three part series, we take it one step further to discuss yet another challenge: breastfeeding. Of course, fed is always best, and there are many reasons to formula feed, but providing breastmilk is very important to many families. For EM physicians, choosing to breastfeed usually means figuring out how to pump and store milk while you’re on shift. This can be daunting, especially for residents and junior physicians. How do you find time to sneak away? Is there an easily accessible pumping room close by? Will you feel supported by colleagues and your department? We cover these questions and much more with experts, Dr. Claire Abramoff, and Dr. Shada Rouhani.
