More About This Book

Overview

It is widely recommended that babies breastfeed exclusively for the first six months of life and continue breastfeeding through one to two years of age. The revised edition of this award-winning guide includes the legal rights of breastfeeding mothers, new research on working moms and infant attachment, and information on breast pumps and maintaining milk production. It's the only book that provides reassuring and informative help for nursing mothers to meet the challenge of combining breastfeeding and their working lives with success.

Editorial Reviews

From The Critics

In this welcome revision of a 1997 title, Pryor (Nursing Your Baby) and Huggins (The Nursing Mother's Companion) supply a wealth of updated information on legal rights in the workplace, breast pumps, and the basics of expressing, storing, and feeding breast milk. Women planning on returning to paid work will find excellent advice to make breastfeeding a long-term reality even if mother and baby are separated for many hours of the day. The breastfeeding techniques and especially the exacting logistics (e.g., the number of times and the time of day to pump, how many ounces to expect) will greatly assist new mothers. The completeness of the information--the updated resource list includes web sites, rental information, and support groups--makes this an essential read for women committed to both nursing and resuming employment outside of the home. Libraries owning the 1997 edition will want to update, and all others should purchase the new edition. Highly recommended. (Illustrations not seen.)
—Julianne J. Smith

    A reviewer

    I purchased this book because I was nervous about being able to continue breastfeeding and balancing a full time job. It is written in a very easy to read manner and discusses many of the true feelings or fears that women have as they return to work. She talks about going back to work as having much in common with the first weeks of motherhood in that it is like a second postpartum period. She discusses the importance of taking care of yourself in order to meet the needs of your baby and gives detailed information about how and when to pump, how to store, and challenges that one might face when becoming a full time working mother.

    Great book for working moms

    I bought this book before returning to work with my third baby. He was the first of my sons I exclusively breastfed. I think this book shows encouragement, and makes you feel confident you can continue even though you have to work. It was an easy read and made me feel better about pumping and returning to work full time. I think I went back (to work) with a more positive attitude. I would recommend it to anyone who is returning to work that wants to continue nursing.

    Terrific Step-by-Step Guidelines

    Nursing Mother, Working Mother does a fantastic job focusing on incorporating breastfeeding into your working life and time away from your baby. If anyone is pregnant and planning on breastfeeding when returning to work, this book explains everything from figuring out where to pump at your workplace to how you pump and how often you should pump. It also addresses the emotional aspects of separating from your baby. A must for the Nursing Mother, Working Mother.
