Reconciling returning to work and breastfeeding: our advice for doing so with peace of mind
Returning to work while breastfeeding is possible with good organization. Prepare yourself in advance: find out about your rights, familiarize yourself with the breast pump, and build up a milk reserve. Talk to your employer to adjust your schedule and provide a dedicated space. Maintain morning and evening feedings, plan breaks to express your milk, and store it properly. Choose a suitable childcare method and take care of your well-being. Be kind to yourself and adapt your pace if necessary. The main thing is to find a balance that suits you.
Nursing Pillows: The Essential Accessory for Mom and Baby
The nursing pillow is an essential tool to improve comfort and support during breastfeeding. It offers significant benefits for both mother and baby, such as ergonomic support, correct posture, and optimal positioning to facilitate latching. This versatile pillow is also useful during pregnancy, to relieve lower back pain or support the belly during sleep.
A good nursing pillow should have a suitable shape (U or C), be made with hypoallergenic materials, offer ideal firmness and be easy to maintain thanks to washable covers.
Beyond breastfeeding, it is used to support the back during pregnancy, keep the baby in a semi-sitting position, or as a travel accessory. It is therefore essential to accompany mothers throughout maternity, making each moment more comfortable and enjoyable.
Breastfeeding: the benefits for you and your baby
Breastfeeding provides nutrition that is perfectly adapted to the baby's needs, enriches its intestinal microbiota, strengthens its immunity and adapts in real time to its age and health. For the mother, it promotes postpartum recovery, helps with weight loss, reduces the risk of certain cancers and improves mental well-being. It is a natural and precious gesture that benefits both health and the unique bond between mother and child.
