@perfectlove25 It's kind of a blur but if I remember correctly we started shifts like two days after we got home. My milk wasn't in yet anyway so I was pumping and supplementing with formula because I couldn't get him to latch for like the first week. I think I went like a 3 or 4 hour stretch...

@jimmyjww1222 I wouldn't feel bad about it. Just think of how much time smokers spend on their breaks.

@brandon_d That's true but it's a lot easier for them when there's some milk sitting in there waiting for them. What I've read suggests you should try to still feed after you've pumped, if they want it, because some babies are willing to do the work. I can tell it's frustrating for my son...

@brandon_d I and others on this sub have observed that some doctors recommend triple feeding to everyone - it's really a pretty severe measure IRL because it takes a lot of time. My lactation consultant told me it's only supposed to be done for a few days max because of that. Based on what...

And I'd assume the reason they don't give pertussis right away is because they encourage Mom's to get TDAP at 27 weeks and that has a pretty good rate (78%) of protecting them until they get vaccinated on their own...

@e123 I was actually just researching this after seeing a ton of people in my WTE bump group saying they were going to decline because they didn't see the point. I think it boils down to the benefits vastly outweighing the risks, which, as a lawyer is generally how I look at things to give legal...
