How difficult is it for women to have children in the workplace? You will understand after watching the daily life of a wet nurse.

"After giving birth to a child and going to work, I feel PUA by everyone, because I have to back my milk!" At first, I thought I had just returned to the workplace, and many businesses were unskilled, which brought these dissatisfaction.

But it turned out that this was not the case, especially every time I went to nurse, I would definitely look different when I came back. It seems that I just blatantly "fished". I wonder if you lactating mothers have ever had such an experience?

Yingying's maternity leave has expired. On her first day at work, she felt a little lost. She has no children to feed, so she can only milk her breasts at fixed points. She also has a job that she is not familiar with. She is dizzy and feels empty.

There is no maternity room in the company, so several female colleagues who are breastfeeding can only take turns to go to the toilet or borrow a small warehouse from the administration. "I am not only worried about taking up the company's resources, but also afraid of being hit by my colleagues."

However, colleagues around her quietly told her that it is difficult for employees who have completed the birth check-up to have the opportunity of promotion and salary increase within two years. This made Yingying feel very lost. In the past, the company had an opportunity to apply for a raise every three months. She also hopes that she will come back this time, do a good job and buy diapers for her baby. Why go home and have a baby, and then come back and be treated specially? Obviously, the workload has not decreased at all?

Several good friends of Yingying applied for leaving their jobs soon after they became mothers. It is not easy to balance family and work.

Moreover, maternity leave is very short, and the time for breastfeeding the baby is seriously insufficient. If you breastfeed, there are many obstacles, just like Yingying. Did I do something wrong as a wet nurse? Should I quit my job and go home to take care of the children? I'm confused.

In fact, the wet nurses didn't do anything wrong, but the society didn't have much understanding and support and didn't take into account the breastfeeding needs of newborn babies.

However, the maternity leave of most working mothers is only three months, which is far from the minimum standard of six months. Moreover, when breast milk is delivered, the prolactin produced has a sleep effect. For mothers who have just returned to the workplace, they should resist sleepiness and work hard.

When I went home to face my children, I felt guilty about not being with them. The attack of these emotions is the last straw to crush the wet nurse.

"Three-piece set" for lactating mothers

Even if breastfeeding is hard, it still needs to be overcome for mothers who are unwilling to give up the workplace. Based on the actual situation, the following summarizes the "three-piece set" for lactating mothers.

First, win the support of partners.

Breastfeeding is a major event and needs the support of leaders, family members and elders. They are powerful promoters on your way back to milk. Don't be shy, just tell the leader and he will understand you. This is especially true for family members. When you drag your tired body home, you can tell your family how you really feel and win support and help. Don't be too brave.

If possible, I strongly recommend that breastfeeding mothers join various breastfeeding support groups and mothers' groups, which will help to discuss the problems encountered during breastfeeding at work. In such an environment, many mothers have experienced people who are willing to share their experiences. It can also be seen that many "female warriors" who have the same experience as you have gained a sense of strength and continue to stick to it.

Second, adjust your schedule.

Breastfeeding mothers need to adjust their breastfeeding time and work rhythm. It is not difficult to achieve a relative balance between the two.

Just returned to the workplace, you may need to pump milk 3-4 times a day. Familiarizing yourself with the use of breast pumps in advance can help you improve your efficiency. At that time, the electric X breast pump was used, and it took 10- 15 minutes to suck milk each time, which was very labor-saving.

At the same time, mothers should make full use of fixed rest periods such as lunch to ensure that they have enough rest. If you work near home, you can also go home and nurse at noon!

Rayza, an artist, was also a nursing mother when she filmed Ningmin Town. Even at the airport, she is milking, usually at the seams.

Because of the sandstorm on the set, she didn't want sand in the bottle. Every time she finishes sucking milk, she wraps it in several layers of gauze and takes it back to the hotel after work at night.

Tip: Regular breast pumping helps to avoid mastitis.

Finally, win the baby's cooperation.

Bottles are not recommended in the first month after a baby is born. If you plan to return to the workplace as soon as possible, you can try bottle feeding when your baby is 3-4 months old, so that your baby can adapt well.

Some lactating mothers will find that babies leave their mothers during the day, eat less milk and eat more complementary food, but at night, they need to be fed night milk frequently. This is a "reverse cycle" phenomenon, that is, the baby is eager to get in touch with his mother.

Then the extra milk squeezed out during the day can be frozen in the refrigerator, and the number of times of sucking milk can be reduced appropriately to meet the feeding at night.
