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.

You Can Have It All - Just Not All At Once

Emma Keller's warmth and wisdom infuse The Comeback, a sensible corrective to the no-win, media-stoked battles of the "Mommy Wars." (Peggy Orenstein, author of Waiting for Daisy)
We’ve all heard the chatter in magazines and on television about off ramps and on ramps, decreased earning power, increased competition, too much re-adjustment, too little flexibility, no jobs, no hope – nothing to look forward to.
Women are used to being told that once we get off the career track, we can't get back on.
In The Comeback, Emma Gilbey Keller proves that this isn’t true: more and more, companies today are looking at the value of hiring returning mothers.

"Have you ever noticed that even today in the year 2008, virtually every children's book you pick up portrays the mom character doing domestic tasks, often wearing an actual apron?
We have spent a great deal of time working with public library personnel and other experts to compile a list of books for kids that feature moms who work outside the home.
For many of us, these uncommon books illustrate a far more realistic picture of family life than all the classics put together."

I hope to see you at our event on August 3rd at the Eureka Valley Rec Center. We have lots of fun planned for all ages. Ivonne Garcia, IBCLC, will be available throughout the event to address specific issues and/or questions related to working and breastfeeding. The San Francisco Breastfeeding Coalition will also be present and will also have a lot of information/resources available to you. As an added incentive, FREE massages will be available on site. Just what every working mom needs!
If you aren't breastfeeding, join us anyway! There are a lot of activities planned that are not related to breastfeeding. You'll still have fun and be able to meet other families.
You can RSVP on the home page.
See you then!
Glenda
