You have chosen to feed your baby breast milk, and your caregiver should respect that choice. Seeking a care-giver who is supportive of nursing is worth the extra effort and will benefit both you and your baby. Your maternity leave may be coming to an end, but contrary to what many people believe, your breastfeeding relationship can continue. A qualified, understanding childcare provider can assist you with nourishing your baby as only you can, long after the time clock starts ticking again. When on a quest for qualified childcare, it is important to team up with a person who has parenting beliefs similar to yours.
