Hi Everyone,
I will be a first year teacher in the fall, and I have a job in a small town where we are moving to this summer. I student taught for the full last year since my 12 month old son was 3 months old. I'm staying home this summer with him. He refused the bottle, and I was able to nurse him at lunch while I student taught.
My son will be 15 months by August, but I really don't want to give up nursing my son during my lunch break. However, I also feel that it's really important to interact and spend time with my co-workers especially since I'm a first year teacher and new in town. I thought that if my lunch is 30 minutes that maybe I could eat a quick 10-15 minute lunch in the teacher's lounge with co-workers and then go nurse my son for the remainder of my lunch break. I will live just about 2 blocks from the school, so it won't take very long to get to my house from school.
Do any of you experienced teachers who also support breastfeeding beyond infancy have any suggestions or advice?
Carolyn
