Much-needed support for breastfeeding working moms
KBoffi | |

As every mom knows, the joys of motherhood inevitably include multitasking. New moms grow accustomed to being pulled in different directions almost as quickly as they adapt to functioning on little or no sleep. Needless to say, such multitasking is most definitely on the radar of working moms and breastfeeding working moms in particular.
Despite the many nursing rooms cropping up in major offices around San Francisco, the array of pumping materials, nursing pads and more, breastfeeding and working still often exist in mutually exclusive corners. California Pacific Medical Center’s Newborn Connections is working to alter that misconception.

3-Minute Interview: Glenda Hamilton

Below is an excerpt from the Examiner! Check it out :)
SAN FRANCISCO (Map, News) - Glenda Hamilton, 42, runs the Newborn Connections center at California Pacific Medical Center. She, along with the center, will host a picnic Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Eureka Valley Recreation Center where women can learn more about breastfeeding, in conjunction with World Breastfeeding Week. RSVP at (415) 291-9506.
What made you want to work as a lactation educator? When my [18-year-old] son was born, I was the only one out of my friends who had a child. I felt very isolated, and despite reaching out to doctors for advice, I came up empty-handed.
What's your favorite thing about your work? Seeing an anxious, nervous, expectant mom come in with so many questions, so unsure of herself, and a couple of months after the birth she’s so confident in her parenting skills.
