Hello,
I have been offered a part-time job to begin when DS will have just turned 9 months old. It's a great job and I am seriously considering it, but one concern I have is that I'd like to bf DS until a year, but I have had very little success pumping. The job would be either only in the mornings or only in the afternoons. At 9 months, how much nursing goes on relative to solid foods? Are babies typically only nursing mornings and nights at that age? Would it be feasible to take the job if solid food could be given during my absence? Or if I could pump enough to get one bottle per day? Any information would be most helpful. Thanks in advance!
