I just received a call from a first time mom who plans to return to work
after 9 weeks at home, which is longer than most and more than sufficient to
establish breast feeding.  Her problem, however, is that she is also taking a
class to get her MBA which ends in April and she has been working on for 2
years.  It meets every saturday and does require some evenings away from
home.  She is going to have to try to attend her class the week after she
delivers.  She is inquiring about pumping due to the fact that the class
lasts from 9-5 and her husband will be caring for the baby.  She is highly
motivated to breastfeed for as long as possible and I want to be supportive.
I need to know if anyone has any tips or ideas on how to handle pumping
during the first week and how to handle a baby who will have a bottle
introduced so soon.  This mom is determined to finish this class, since she
has paid for it and come this far.  Please help us!!!
