I'm way ahead of the game but I'm trying to do as much prepping and planning as possible. I tried using the search bar but couldn't find any similar posts. I know every person and every baby is different. I'm planning on taking 6 weeks off of work once my little is born. I'm hoping to exclusively breast feed for a month and then hopefully try to do some pumping while I go back to work. I'm a hairstylist so being off work too long is hard, as I'll start to loose clients. I'm planning on going back part time at 3-4 days a week. I can schedule pump times in between clients. My question is, is this realistic or am I setting myself up for failure? breastfeeding as much as possible means so much to me, but we also rely on my income so stay at home mom is not in the cards for me. Can I get any feedback or other mothers that had success when they went back to work? I might be able to take off 8 weeks, but it just depends!
