Are you here to learn more about what it takes to be a pumping mama? Looking for breast pumping tips?
Whether you’re planning on returning to work as a breastfeeding mama or looking more into being an exclusive pumper (yes, those mamas exist, and rock!!), I’ve got some good breast pumping tips for you!
The reality is, if you’re breastfeeding your little one and you plan on returning to work for more than 4+ hours at a time…you’ll have to get acquainted with a breast pump to maintain your milk supply.
I bet you’re still on maternity leave, and trying to wrap your head around this whole pumping thing…I mean, breastfeeding is one thing. (It’s hard, don’t get me wrong there!)
But pumping…pumping is a whole ‘nother ball-game!
Whaaaa! Pumping is like speaking another language sometimes…Just ask my husband. (He had no idea what I was talking about half the time!)
Luckily, I’ve got the pumping tips and resources you need to succeed!
I had to teach myself everything I know about pumping. Heck, it took me a good 2 MONTHS being back at work before I could really call myself a pro-pumper. And quite frankly, that was way too long and really bummed me out.
Pumping is totally the kind of thing that most ladies learn as they go…
I had played with my pump, and pumped what I needed for work before my first day back (about 50oz), but I didn’t really take into consideration the mechanics of what I needed while I was there, how to pack my pump bag, and how to clean my parts while I was at work.

I was kinda unprepared…and my milk supply definitely diminished the day I went back to work. How do I know that?
I pumped the most I EVER pumped on DAY ONE back at work…16 oz. After that first day, my body started to say, “wait a second…you aren’t nursing your baby…this feels different” and my supply dropped.

And, once I started to realize all of this…it was kind of too late. My supply never got back up to where it once was (regardless of how much oatmeal I ate!).

The transition back to work ends up being the end to breastfeeding for TOO many mamas here in the US. This doesn’t have to be your story.

There is no handbook for pumping at work – until now!
Well, I’d totally recommend this class to any pregnant mama planning on returning back to work after maternity leave.
Heck, if you’re planning on using a breast pump AT ALL…this class is worth it!
