GLUM MUMS | Why I know being a working mum is (hopefully) right for me

I start back at work today and I'm mostly excited but it's really hit me how different life will be. On Friday Lucy had her second settling in session at nursery which she took to really well. She didn't even cry when I left! So I'm both relieved and slightly upset about that. Leaving Lucy at nursery is going to be tough, but I...

I breastfed my daughter fully from the start, and still feed her twice a day at 21 months old. However, a breast pump can be useful for new mums for the following purposes: Getting your milk going in the hospital (the hospital pumps are too strong and hurt me, and also shared which is off-putting hygiene-wise despite their sterilisation procedures) Expressing to keep...
