Returning to Work as a New Mom: The Ultimate Guide to Pumping at Work Going back to work as a new mom can be tough. You are handling your job and taking care of your baby. Now, you need to find a way to keep breastfeeding or pumping while doing everything else. Don’t worry, many moms feel the same way. With some planning, you can continue breastfeeding or pumping successfully. If you\'re looking for more in-depth advice, be sure to check out our latest podcast episode. We dive deeper into real-world tips and strategies for new moms. In this blog, we’ll go over everything you need to know about pumping at work. This includes picking the right equipment to keeping your milk supply up. 1. Why Pumping at Work Is Important Breastfeeding is a special time for both you and your baby. But when you return to work, it doesn’t have to be the end of your breastfeeding journey. Pumping allows you to express breast milk while you\'re away from your baby. This ensures that you can continue to nourish your little one with breast milk even when you’re at the office. Pumping at work might seem like a lot, but with a good plan and the right gear, it can be easier than you think. By setting yourself up for success ahead of time, you can keep breastfeeding or pumping, and still do your job effectively. 2. Use a Hands-Free Pump (But Not Right Away) One of the most helpful tools for breastfeeding moms today is the hands-free pump. Models like Willow Go and Momcozy let you pump while you do other things—perfect for busy moms who need to multitask at work. However, you should wait until your milk supply is fully established before using a hands free pumping regularly. We recommend waiting until after the first month postpartum. This is because wearable pumps might not remove milk as effectively as traditional…
