Work. Pump. Repeat.: The New Mom's Survival Guide to Breastfeeding and Going Back to Work | Jessica Shortall

pick

Went on our first road trip this weekend to Grammy and Papa's house. I had some backseat Mommy reading time. This book was exactly what I needed! It was an honest look at returning to work and still providing for you baby whether it's still breastfeeding or moving on. Every chapter reminded me that I am an important member in this relationship with my baby and that whatever we choose is our choice and we have to do what's best for us. 💙💛

Readergrrl Ugh, I remember having to hide in a single stall bathroom to pump while at work. I teach in a high school so my schedule had NO normalcy to it. Luckily I think things have changed dramatically in the last 10 years!! 😊😊😊 6y

aroc @Readergrrl Its better but not great. Fingers crossed I get through it! If not, oh well! 6y

My poor hubby was so excited to think I was reading a book about working out (he‘s a power lifter and gym time is his happy time) so needless to say he was very disappointed when I explained what the “pump” in the title is. Photos of soon to be with us Tyr and the daddy he looks exactly like because they‘re both just so cute!

so-so

I often couch my expectations of work-related parenting books because they tend to be centered around professional women. As a shift worker in manufacturing, I struggled to relate to much of this book. If anything, I did enjoy some of the more humorous stories shared and I at least learned how to address moisture buildup in my pump's tubing.

UrsulaMonarch I've heard to leave the tubing not hooked up to a collection unit & run the pump- is that right? 😂👶🤔 (edited) 7y

Phlamboyant @UrsulaMonarch Collection unit! 🤣 And, yes, that is correct. 7y

UrsulaMonarch @Phlamboyant 👍 my brain was completely failing me on the noun front!! #sleepdeprivation 7y

Phlamboyant @UrsulaMonarch Solidarity. I think I'll start using collection unit now. Am I talking about my bottles? Am I talking about something else? HR will never know . . . 7y

Finally "finished" it! I did a lot of skimming. Of course, I finished it and figured out that I'm not sure how much more I can mentally handle but hey she's 4.5 months and I'm doing a slow wean. It was a good book, btw.
