Breastfeeding/pumping class for working mothers

[Serenyd]

I'm a nurse in grad school for nurse practitioner and I want to do a women's health project on pumping and breastfeeding for working moms. I could do a chat room format or a I could put up the information to be read at your leisure. I'm planning to do a quick 10 question pre and post test to be taken online. I have 2 small children (20 mos/3 years) and an eight year old and I've pumped through school and work for all 3 so I have some personal insight on this topic as well. I plan to research this area thoroughly and present a synopsis of the advice from the most reliable sources. Anyone interested?

I'm not breastfeeding anymore, but just wanted to encourage you in your project. Sounds like a great idea!

Thank you! . I'm seriously considering doing a video and posting it on YouTube. That way anyone could watch it and get the info, even after I finish collecting responses for my class. I would probably put the pre and post tests on surveymonkey.com. It's super-quick, just click, click, click and you're done! I used them for my thesis project data collection also.

I am seriously interested in you're project and would LOVE to have the info you want to share. I am about to start nursing school inJanuary at which time my youngest will be only 5 months old. Anything and everything you can share with me would be appreciated. Thanks!

I had a similar experience, I started full time nursing school when my oldest was only 6 months old. I continued to breastfeed and nurse exclusivley. Be upfront with the instructors at your school and explain your situation, my school went out of their way to help me and got me a room I could pump in comfortably!! Also get a good pump, either Ameda Purely Yours or Medela. Go for it!
