Will Breastfeeding Confine Me to Home?

No! During the first months when babies need to be breastfed often you can carry on with your usual activities, just bring your baby along. Breastfed babies are very portable. You’ve already got your supply of milk handy, just grab your diaper bag when you leave! As your baby gets older and the time between feedings spaces out, you may be able to accomplish your errands between feedings. At other times you may need to leave your baby and some of your pumped breast milk with a caregiver. Either way, you can resume breastfeeding when you return home.
