Sustaining Supply Away from Baby
Returning to work may require adjustments to maintain supply. Pumping during work breaks helps keep up production, while nursing directly at home reinforces your bond.
Your breasts will adapt to this new routine, producing milk on schedule if pumping is consistent. Storing milk properly ensures your baby continues to benefit from your tailored nutrition.
Tips for You This Week
- Stick to a pumping schedule that aligns with your baby’s feeding times.
- Use insulated bags and ice packs for milk transport.
- Celebrate your dedication—balancing work and breastfeeding is no small feat!
Fun Fact:
Lactoferrin supplements based on human milk are used to treat anemia in premature infants.
