Working moms have a bigger challenge in sustaining breastfeeding. You mentioned that you have an 8-hour work schedule but in reality, it's not really 8 hours. You have to take into consideration having to deal with traffic for hours and this adds to the time you are away from your little one. My son was mixfed too right from the start. I just met the most amazing group of women who inspired me in ditching the formula. It really boils down to having the right support -- support from your immediate and extended family, support from friends and support in the work place. Who knows, you might have another chance to breastfeed another little one in the future. When that happens, shoot me an email. I can help you find a support group nearby.

I just think that it's about time that this should be normalized. This is how kids were fed before formula milk was invented. Milk companies just have created a need and market their products like crazy and in the process, this undermined a woman's breastfeeding journey. Enough. Women should be empowered.

Because I breastfeed my two kids exclusively for 4 months and mixed feeding until 6 months. If I was more diligent despite having 8-hour work schedule I may have them breastfeed until 1 year or more if I was more lucky. Kudos to you!Sound of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01910666138264614040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2452709186916889870.post-22106339754644126272015-09-13T23:48:59.293-07:002015-09-13T23:48:59.293-07:00Hi Tina.

Thought those breastfeeding days were not done mostly in public as I was at that time unemployed and no house help, those were among the most fulfilling and memorable experiences in my life. In fact I even got inspired to write a post about it, because until now I can still remember how each of them has been breastfed and weaned differently. It is one of my favorite stories I tell to my kids which always bring a smile to their faces.<br /><br />About time that people have a paradigm shift when it comes to breastfeeding in public. You are right. If one gets uncomfortable looking at a breastfeeding Mom in public, they can either keep quiet or simply leave.Sarah Bucuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572344555891488020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2452709186916889870.post-11467967293170559182015-09-13T23:39:03.562-07:002015-09-13T23:39:03.562-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sarah Bucuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572344555891488020noreply@blogger.com
