As a former nursing mumma of 6, I would recommend providing plenty of boobie-pops in the freezer and hitting the breast pump at lunch. One, all-day class won't make a difference on your milk production. You'll be a little full by lunch if you are nursing regularly, but they make some great disposable breast pads which I highly recommend.TheZooKeeper wrote:Hiya Gals,
I'm hoping someone has a solution for my delimma. My youngest is still nursing and although she's not a new baby, she still nurses often and won't be weaned for another year or so if she's like the rest of my kids. I very much want to get my CHL but there's no way I can be away from her for an entire day. We'd both be miserable and I know my husband wouldn't make it.
I dread the thought of delaying getting my liscence for a year or more. I'm not seeing any options for taking multiple classes to accrue the 10 hours of instruction time. They're all one day classes. Which, if I wasn't nursing a baby would be great. I keep thinking there has to be an alternative to one day classes. Am I hopefully missing the obvious? I'm just N of Austin if that helps with options.
Thanks,

If baby won't take the bottle, daddy can use a little spoon.
BTW I nursed 4 of my 6 over two years each.
Think of it this way, he needs to bond anyway and believe me, he will be fine. Trust me. He'll find his own stride and you may find he and baby will be best buds by the end of it all.
