breastmilkCounts.com When I went back to work after having my baby, I talked to my employer about my desire to continue feeding my baby Breastmilk. My employer was supportive and allowed me the time and space to pump my milk so that I could continue to keep my baby healthy even though I had to be away from her. I felt better about going back to work knowing that I could still give her the best nutrition possible and could continue nursing her as long as I wanted to. breastmilkCounts.com
