it's wasn't easy.... I had 2 go back to work after 2 month of ML, n my boss was quite supportive.
but as I have mentioned earlier, d meetings I attended were external meetings n sometimes it can get lengthy....
Shortly after a mth of returning 2 work.... I almost gave up as my engorgement gets more frequent due 2 lengthy meetings. But my DD had 2 undergo an emergency surgery n PD told me dat bm is best 4 her... She got a lactation consultant 2 help wif my engorgement issue... in d end I was told dat as long as I pumped every 4 hrs, I shld b fine.... n if I choose 2 stop, I will just need 2 slowly extend d timing 2 wean off...
After my gal turns 2... DH told me I shld stop pumping... we sort of regretted as DD was still drinking milk n we felt d pinch @ how much she drinks... even wif solid food, her milk intake did not reduce n we kept asking PD when DD can stop drinking milk. N PD will always tell us off cos "it's gd she is drinking milk... y do u wanna stop her fr drinking milk?"
My gal is 7 now, n she still drinks milk b4 n after she wakes up.
I can tell u it's not ez, esp when we r FTWM, but d "accomplishment" u achieved here...
