A. For a working mom who stops breastfeeding for 12 hours, several things can happen: 1. Milk Supply: The milk supply may begin to decrease if breastfeeding or pumping is not done regularly. Consistent removal of milk signals the body to produce more. 2. Engorgement: The breasts may become engorged, leading to discomfort or pain. 3. Potential Blockages: If milk is not expressed, it can lead to clogged ducts or mastitis, an infection of the breast tissue. 4. Feeding Challenges: When returning to breastfeeding, the baby may have difficulty latching if there’s a significant gap in feeding. 5. Emotional Impact: Some mothers may feel anxious or guilty about not being able to feed their baby, which can affect emotional well-being. Tips for Managing Pump Regularly: If possible, pump milk during work hours to maintain supply. Stay Hydrated and Nourished: Proper nutrition and hydration can help maintain milk production. Comfort Measures: Use warm compresses or gentle massage if engorgement occurs. If prolonged breaks from breastfeeding are needed, consider consulting a lactation consultant for personalized strategies.
