Breastfeeding/Pumping and Working Moms

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

What are some good, trusted resources for information on this? I am doing a project on it for school. I have my own experience to add, but I want to put together something that moms can use. I hear of so many giving up and quitting breastfeeding after going back to work because it is too hard or they can't maintain a supply. 

 

TIA

If you're looking for academic sources, Bernice Hausman's book Mother's Milk: Breastfeeding Controversies in American Culture is a great place to start.  I would also strongly recommend Sharon Hays' book The Cultural Contradictions of Motherhood which, while not about breastfeeding, per se, is a brilliant analysis of the ideological work of mothering and what makes a "good" mother.  Sounds like a great project.
