For working mothers of infants (more than half of all new mothers) meeting this goal can be challenging. The newly updated Nursing Mother, Working Mother offers you practical and reassuring advice on everything from choosing the right pump in every situation, to securing lactation space and respect at the workplace, to instructing childcare providers on feeding pumped breast milk, to continuing breastfeeding even when your job requires business travel. It also includes information on changes in workplace laws. As a breastfeeding mother, you need guidance and support to combine breastfeeding with your working life, and the reassuring and informative revised edition of Nursing Mother, Working Mother assists you at every step. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Excellent ResourceThis book not only tells you about working and nursing, but also about how to create an attachment between the two of you so that when mom goes back to work, there is no loss of connection. It is really helpful in telling you how & when to pump and store your breastmilk, reheat it properly and includes a 'Day in the Life of a nursing, working mother' sample schedule.

Rating: - Great for Any Mother, Working or Not!I bought this book while I was still pregnant, because I was planning on going back to college very soon after my daughter was born. Due to some complications, I didn't get to go back to school, so I've been a SAHM for nearly a year. Even without me working, this book has been by far the best book about breastfeeding that I have read. It has a whole chapter that gives you the knowledge and confidence that your body can nurse your baby. Without reading that chapter before my daughter's birth, I ... Read More Rating:  - Some good info and some inappropriate value judgmentsI bought this book hoping to put it in my company's pumping room as a resource for pumping moms at my company. After I read it, I decided not to put it in the pumping room. Although there is some good information in this book, unfortunately the tone of most of it made me uncomfortable, and in some places offended me. I didn't want other working and nursing moms at my company to feel judged by the information in this book. Being a working and nursing mom is hard enough without the kinds of value judgments ... Read More Rating: - Not what I had hoped it would beI had really looked forward to reading this book and was disappointed, especially after reading so many rave reviews. My 6-month old has recently started rejecting his bottles at daycare, and at the same time my supply has dropped dramatically. I understand that he wants to bond with me, but he is not a good co-sleeper (wakes up continually to play) and I don't have a choice about working or flexible hours. I had to wonder what the authors were smoking when they recommeded that I be flattered by this and ... Read More |
