Briefcases, breasts, babies & bottles

You may wonder why we’re writing another book on breastfeeding, but perhaps this will help to explain why Jennifer and I choose to do this. We like to think of ourselves as thorough, as we were pregnant, nursing, and juggling new motherhood, jobs, and husbands we both searched at various points in time for information on making this juggling act (specifically breastfeeding while working) actually work…but we didn’t find much in written format about this, and what we did find was sketchy at best. We of course turned to people who parented previously, but neither of our mothers were able to offer many suggestions…mine nursed, and her suggestions on that aspect were wonderful, but she didn’t work outside of the home so she wasn’t able to offer many tried and true balancing suggestions, and as Jennifer will share, hers didn’t nurse at all. So, after much trial and error, tears, frustration, heartache, joy and delight, here we are. We hope that you’ll find this book informative, funny, and useful, but most of all we hope that you’ll find it REAL – the good, bad, and ugly about one of the most personal decisions that you’ll have to make as a mom, especially as a work-outside of the home mom. We wish you luck on your journey and remember – we’ve been there and you can make it!
