I start my first nursing job in September! I just graduated in May, passed boards in June and had my second baby boy in July. I am trying to figure out if it will be possible to continue breastfeeding when I start work. Being a nurse doesn't exactly offer the privacy and time to pump at work, does it? Also, I will be starting out orientation on 8 hour shifts, but will eventually be working 12 hour shifts.
i breastfed both of my daughters while i worked, u must have a good pump lol. i had a double pump heavy duty. unfortunatly i had to pump during my breaks and at lunch in the bathroom, then i dumped the milk. i had alot saved at home frozen. its really the only way not to leak and get engorged through out the day and not lose your milk. it worked great for me, i breast fed for a year with my first.
