It’s no secret that the past week+ has brought dizzying changes, leaving many families in our communities impacted and grappling with the implications of recent executive orders. As an independent nonprofit not reliant on government funding, we are grateful to be able to continue our work mostly unaffected. We also recognize the profound challenges these changes bring to parents, and we feel a deep responsibility to provide additional support where we can.
In response, we are introducing a special FREE class for federal employees affected by the return-to-office orders:
Returning to the Office While Nursing/Pumping
This special FREE offering is designed for federal employees who are being required to return to the office. The class focuses on techniques to make this transition easier for you and your baby. Topics include:
-Logistics and timing of pumping sessions.
-Addressing supply concerns.
-Planning where you will pump and ensuring appropriate equipment.
-Milk storage strategies.
-Techniques to maximize pumping volume.
We will also hold space for questions and provide an opportunity to process the emotional impact of returning to the office after potentially many months of working from home. One-on-one support is also available to provide personalized guidance.
At The Breastfeeding Center, we are here for you. We know that these times feel heavy and overwhelming, and we are committed to offering the resources, compassion, and encouragement that we can. Please know that you are not alone. Our team is here to walk alongside you, providing support and practical tools to help you and your family thrive, no matter what challenges you face. If there is anything we can do to help, please send us your ideas.
