The working woman's guide to breastfeeding is a good reference for mothers. I don't agree with every last word but they ceratinly tackle most of the issues, including legal ones. Unfortunately I forgor the authors at present but it is easily available. Also, on the MEdela videotape they interview a airline stewardess woul breastfeed despite 5 day stint away from baby. My line is generally that at least 5 pediatric residents in our program (myself included) have breastfed despite 36 hour shifts so 9-5 is easy! (or at leat possible with good planning. An important point is that one does not always have to be able to pump on the baby's schedule to make enough milk. One's body is very adaptable. When the baby is eating some other foods, one can get way with pumping night and morning. -- **************************************************** * Deena Zimmerman MD MPH * * Department of Pediatrics * * UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School * * 1 RWJ Place * * New Brunswick, NJ 08903 * * * * phone (908) 235-7248 * * fax (908) 235-7345 * * email [log in to unmask] (internet) * ****************************************************
