Does anyone breast only at night?
I'm going back to work next week. My baby is 10 weeks old and being in the center. I was breastfeeding, but unfortunately I have to supplement with formula during the day while she is in daycare because they do not have time to pump at work. I want to continue breastfeeding and hope that I will be able to feed her the morning before working hours, and 16 for the rest of the night. Someone else does and work for you? I really hope it does not dry out if I can continue to give my baby the benefits of breast milk.
Yes! It can work. I had to return to work when my baby was 3 weeks. I worked a few hours, but when she was 10 weeks, I was about 12 hours. I pump 1 or 2 times a day at first but over time it has aged. Thus, it became increasingly child during the day so far is 6 months, always gets the formula while I work. I can breastfeed her first thing in the morning and evening. On days off sometimes nurse in the afternoon, but she seems confused lol … feeds primarily on only bed because it seems too distracted and impatient with the flow when awake. Sometimes it seems almost useless to only nurse at night, but when we are close and is brought to me, while getting the best milk for her, I change my mind. It is increasingly fine and perfect health that way. Hope it works for you.
