Hi Elisa, check out the Pumping Moms group too. Those members might have some good ideas for getting comfortable pumping at work.

Hello Working Moms!! Just started my second week back to Work, its not the same anymore. I feel work is different, and I can't stop thinking of my baby at home. The hardest part is I don't feel comfortable pumping at work, anyone else feel like this? I don't want to dry up because formula is expensive. Any working moms know of a good legit part time job that I can add to my agenda working from home??

@Heather... Approved!! I started my new schedule last week and it makes a world of difference. I end up catching up on work for up to an hour after Wesley's bed time, but it's so worth it! Getting that extra quality time is priceless!

Hey ladies. My son is almost 8 months now. Time flies!! I actually find it more and more difficult to be away from him now that he can play and we can do things together. I put together a pretty formal request that I'm presenting to my boss today requesting to leave at 3:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays (rather than 5pm). I just need some extra time with my son. It's not fair to him that I get home and immediately start our night time routine with barely any play time - 5 days a week! I'll let you know how it goes, but I must say, my proposal is VERY well written and only a jack-ass could say no to my request. I cover all angles of accountability and professional success!! Actually, if anyone is considering such a proposal, let me know and I can send you my document. Fingers crossed that all goes well this afternoon and I can have an extra hour and a half of play time twice a week!!

Hi I'm Chynna. I have an 8 week old daughter and I've been back at work for about 2 weeks now. It's hard. I cry every time I leave her.

well my name is Sherri and I have been on FMLA since the birth of my daughter Dec 17th, i'm really sad that I have to go back to work on Monday I will miss her so much and i'm afraid that I will miss important new developmental achievements in her 1st year. Does anyone have any advise on how to deal with transitioning back to work with a new baby?
