Hey there, it's me, Dr. Mona, your pediatrician and mom friend, and this is the follow-up,

where we revisit an old episode in less time than it takes to clean all the nooks and crannies of your favorite pump.

You know the struggle.

Today, we're revisiting an episode about pumping and going back to work with Melissa from at pump underscore mama underscore pump. To break down everything you need to know about pumping, going back to work with Melissa from at Pump underscore Mama underscore Pump.

and going back to work can mean supply reduction,

but we discuss how to approach it with less stress and more advocacy for yourself.

If this episode hits home, share it with a fellow pumping parent,

download it so you can listen while multitasking or cleaning pump parts,

and subscribe to the show, because that's how we keep the milk and the podcast flowing.

In terms of when you're starting to think about pumping and incorporating it into a workplace,

what are some things that we have to think about?

Maybe a checklist, if you will, of what you may need, what to talk to your employer about, things like that.
