Yet, in Canada, it almost seemed to be assumed that there wasn’t an issue in going back to work after a year because why was your child still breastfeeding at that point anyway? Tried to pump once a day at work until she was a year old, then figured that if my milk supply decreased then so be it – she seemed to compensate with increased nursings on the days I wasn’t working, such that we had no issues – and still nursing (though I think not for much longer) at 3+ years old.
