What should a working mother prepare for going to work if she insists on breastfeeding?

At this time, it needs determination+perseverance+correct methods, and scientific knowledge as the basis. I believe that every working mother, no matter how hard it is, is still willing to insist on breastfeeding, no matter how complicated it is. Therefore, how to correctly adhere to breastfeeding methods after work is what every working mother needs.

First of all, effective equipment is needed:

1. Breast pump (preferably electric breast pump with good quality and good effect);

2. Milk storage containers (I advocate disposable milk storage bags or breast milk fresh-keeping bags);

3. Fresh-keeping transshipment equipment (cold box with ice crystal and incubator, or portable small refrigerator);

4. Milk warmer (to be honest, I didn't prepare for this, because Bao Ma, Bao Grandma and Bao Grandma already know what the optimal temperature is with their hands).

These equipments are ready. Here are the detailed explanations for the methods and precautions of milk storage for working mothers:

1. Prepare in advance-simulate breastfeeding at work, adjust breastfeeding time, and save breast milk

Simulate breastfeeding at work-1-2 weeks before the mother goes to work, start to practice sucking and storing milk, let the baby practice taking milk from bottles, and start to practice psychological "vaccination" for the baby. Otherwise, I just went to work, and I need to get familiar with it again at work. I am in a hurry to suck milk, and my baby can't adapt to this sudden change. The pressure of the baby mother can be imagined, which is not conducive to milk secretion.

Adjustment time: If the work place is close to home, you can feed yourself before going to work, go home to nurse once during lunch break, and breastfeed normally after work, which can basically meet your baby's needs; If you are far away from home, you can squeeze out the breast milk in advance and store it. During this period, you can warm the breast milk and feed it to your baby as needed, and then feed it when you get home at night.

save breast milk-some breast milk can be squeezed out 1-2 weeks in advance for storage, and the squeezed breast milk can be put into a container for freezing or cold storage.

Tips for breast milk storage: Leave a gap in the breast milk container. Don't fill it too full or cover it tightly to prevent the container from bursting due to freezing and freezing. It is best to divide breast milk into small portions (6-12 ml) and freeze or refrigerate it, so that family members or nannies can feed it according to the baby's food intake, and it will not be wasted, and it should be labeled and dated.
