In general, babies feed every two to three hours, which should cause them to urinate approximately six times per day. Some pediatricians recommend avoiding super-absorbent diapers in the first weeks of life so that you can get a clear idea of how often your baby is urinating. Babies should also produce at least one stool per day. If your baby significantly deviates from these patterns, consult your pediatrician. However, if his or her weight drops further, see your pediatrician immediately.
Mothers returning to work who wish to continue breastfeeding have several options.
If your baby is in day care near your office, you could breastfeed during scheduled breaks. If this is not possible, you can pump your milk using your hands or a breast pump. Once bottled, the milk should be refrigerated and brought to day care for use the following day. You can also decide to breastfeed when you are with the baby and use formula when separated.
