Hi all,
I have a mother in my LaMaze class who wants to breastfeed after she returns
to work 6 weeks after the birth of her child. She is single and will be
working full time. She went to a breastfeeding class run by an LC but felt
the LC was somewhat discouraging.

I think what this mom needs to be succesful is jsut encouragment. She needs
to know other moms have done this and she can too. She is very much pro
breastfeeding and very motivated.

Can you point me to good resources to help this mother? What about
just sending me private email about moms you have worked with who
have done this successfully? Any suggestions about types of pumps to
carry to work, other ideas would be gratefully received.
