011- A Single Mom's Story of Exclusively Pumping and Going Back To Work 6 Weeks PostPartum with Andrea Purjue.
Today, I'm interviewing a very dear friend and fellow mama, Andrea Purjue. She was a huge support to me during my pregnancy and first year with my daughter. In fact, Andrea, came down from Seattle to join me on my first cross-country flight with Luna when Luna was only 3 months old. She was and is amazing.
In this Episode, Andrea shares about the joys and challenges of being a single mom while pregnant and during postpartum.
Andrea had to go back to work just six weeks after having her son and she shares what it was like to have to pump in public 15 years ago.
Andrea also shares:
* The struggle with latching she faced at home
* How she set up her pumping station to best support her
* Figuring out slow flow bottles
* The weird sensation of pumping
* How she handled childcare as a single mom goin back to work after just 6 weeks
* Pumping while commuting an back at work
* Her experience exclusively pumping for 7 months
* What it was like to pump in public 15 years ago
* Her continued recommended resources - Boppy, nipple cream, and try different bottles!
