I have turned to this book often for answers. It provides solutions for talking to your employer, setting up time and a location to nurse/ pump for your child.
I loved the information on how to reconnect with your baby after work, ways to keep your connection strong.
There were times when reading the book that I felt like it spent too much time on the difficulties of working, nursing and having a close relationship with your baby - but it is hard, and this book has many solutions to that. The book/ author seems to assume/ take the stance that working mothers are all go getter that are extremely dedicated to their job, so it's a little off putting, but it can be ignored.

A friend gave me this book a couple weeks before I returned to work with my first daughter. It was exactly what I needed -- practical advice to help me figure out both the logistics and emotions of my return to work, as they intertwined with my desire to continue breastfeeding. In reading this book, I felt like someone really understood what questions I had and how to handle all the situations I would face. Great book!
