Has going back to work affected her sleep? <br /><br />Hope these questions are not too inane. Seeing I was a SAHM who breastfed on demand I'm curious to know how it's done.paolanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-39926908481613258202010-01-07T09:26:43.774-08:002010-01-07T09:26:43.774-08:00Welcome back to the working world!

I confess that part of me wishes I still worked in an office far away from home, instead of at home, such that "coming back from maternity leave" would feel a bit more like the actual transition it is.<br /><br />Yes, it was much, much easier with the second baby. As with so many things, really!hushnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-65234845195891825892010-01-06T07:58:24.894-08:002010-01-06T07:58:24.894-08:00congratulations on making a smooth transition back...congratulations on making a smooth transition back to work! <br /><br />That is awesome your coworkers made you feel appreciated :)<br /><br />I got lazy with pumping at work for no. 2. With my first I boiled everything but almost set stuff on fire when I forgot the pot on the hotplate a few times. Then I just brought two pumps to work instead of washing one. <br /><br />With second babe I started refrigerating the pump after I used it and put it in a clean sterile plastic bag. That way I just pumped with the same pump. <br /><br />I figured if the milk in the bottle stayed fresh in the fridge so would the milk in the pump parts.<br /><br />It was very easy and I just sopped up drippy bits with a Kleenex before putting it in the bag for the fridge. (p.s. this was a hand pump, not electric). <br /><br />I saved cleaning/sterilizing the pump properly until I got home. No more burning down the office that way!Geeks in Romehttp://www.geeksinrome.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
