Thank you so much for the detailed post. As I am preparing to go back to work I searched for information on how to plan pumping and storing milk to feed my little one. I found your post. It is rightly detailed to give me an idea of how it might be and what might be needed. Thanks again.

How surprised I am at finding such little information on the topic of NOT being covered by the Family and Medical Leave Law and maternity leave. I would have thought that there would have been posts all over the place. Thanks for sharing the information you discovered.

funniest – post – ever! Good for you! I plan on doing the same thing as soon as we are able. I’m not even a big drinker at all, but I sure miss the occasional drink. And there’s always “pump-and-dump”, since I’m sure you’re plenty stocked with milk in the freezer, so why not, eh?

Quite detailed posting. Thanks so much! I hope I’ll have as much milk as you seem to be producing. I do work 12-hour shifts, so I’m wondering if I’ll need 3 sessions during that time. We’ll see how it goes. This also confirms I do need to invest in the microwave-sterilizing contraption. Thanks again! 3 more weeks…

My little one who is not quite a year yet is the same way with ma, ma, ma and da, da, da. He doesn’t seem to relate it to either one of us. I am waiting on the edge of my seat for him to say his first word or something that he relates to a thing!
