Default Help

I formula fed Parker because I was 21 and working full time and just really had not interest in breastfeeding him. I really want to breastfeed Titan. Parker has major respiratory issues and I'd like to try to help with that for Titan and also try to help keep him healthier since he'll be born in the middle of the winter.

My thoughts are:

Cons:
* I work full time away from home
* There really isn't a great place to pump while at work (I can use the bathroom or breakroom)
* No one from my family has breastfed their children (except back when it wasn't an option) so I don't have a lot of knowledgeable support
* Titan will be in daycare from 7/7:15 am to 4:30/5 pm

Pros:
* Helpful with losing weight
* Healthier for baby
* More economical

I need some reassurance from breastfeeding mamas that I can make this work and some stories especially from working moms on how to make it work.
