As you will have to bring the pump to work, it’s best to invest in a good, sturdy pump. Choosing the less expensive one may be appealing, but it might cost you even more if it wouldn’t last.
2. Establish a good milk supply during your maternity leave
While still on maternity leave, it’s best to establish a good milk supply. What would help is to nurse on demand initially and then at about week 3, start regularly pumping after each time you breastfeed your baby.
3. Stock up on milk in the freezer
Before going to work, try to stock up on milk and store them in the freezer. That way, when you’re back to work, you can rest easy knowing that your baby will have breast milk. Remember that stress can affect your milk supply.
4. Pump on schedule
At the office, pump in time with your baby’s schedule for feeding. However, don’t get stressed if you can’t follow the schedule to a tee. Remember that your breast milk supply will fluctuate.
