I don't have to return until May, my baby will be 6 1/2 months. It breaks my heart everytime I think about leaving him in day care with strangers. We have no family here to watch him, and will be using my company's day care program (we've been on the waiting list since I was 3 months pregnant).
I currently pump my milk and feed him in a bottle, but when I return to work it will be impossible to pump at work due to the type of job and work environment. I'll be going about 9 hours without pumping. How am I going to do this, I can't even go more than 4 hours now without pumping before I'm in pain, or get a clogged duct.
What should I do? Should I ween him off breast milk and dry up my milk, that thought breaks my heart too. How would I go about drying up my milk without getting an infection or clogged ducts. How long would it take? Is there any other option?
I just wish I could be a stay at home mom. Even right now I'm getting teary just thinking about leaving him.
