Last month we published a Q&A with Registered Nurse and IBCLC, Katie McGee. We got so much great feedback from our readers, we decided to keep the questions -and answers- coming. Here is part two of our series with Katie as she tackles more of the most common breastfeeding questions moms have during the first few months with a newborn.

Moms are amazing. We balance all kinds of responsibilities and demands. For working moms, the search for work-life balance is particularly elusive. You’ve got grocery lists, conference calls, loads of laundry, client meetings—oh, and you need to make sure your baby is fed, clothed, clean and happy. So how do you work breastfeeding into that work-life mix?

Getting ready for your baby is a wonderful time in a woman’s life. Your heart is bursting with excitement as you share the news with friends and family, plan your registry, and try to picture what your life will be like once he or she finally arrives. All the focus is on your baby (and rightfully so!), but there are a few things you’re going to need too. We asked Ashland Women’s Health’s Caitlin McNeily to share her favorite expecting mother must-haves. Cue: shopping spree.

Coming home from the hospital with a brand new baby is overwhelming whether it’s your first baby or your third. The job of being a mom to a newborn comes along with a roller coaster of hormones, post-delivery healing and endless demands of a baby who is fragile and dependent on you to survive. Throw breastfeeding into the mix and it can sometimes feel like too much to handle.
