Moms who BF-Returning to work

I will be returning to work on Monday, the 26th. I am a HS teacher and have to leave home by 6:30. DS usually doesnt wake up till 8am. Did you wake up the baby to feed them? I was thinking of waking him, and BF him in his sleep and putting him back down. Any tips? Am i going to really mess up his schedule??

Re: Moms who BF-Returning to work

My only concern would be that he might be awake after that AM feeding b/c it is so close to his wake up time.

My DD was always up before I left for work so I was able to BF. If she wasn't, I would have pumped and left a bottle. The only time I would pick her up and feed her in her sleep was a dream feed before I went to sleep. She'd go to bed around 6PM and I'd feed her at 10PM and that would make her sleep until 4AM. Then she'd nurse and go back to sleep until 7AM.
