I’M BACK!

If you're staring at a breast pump late at night and wondering how this is meant to work once you're back at work, you're not alone.Returning to work while breastfeeding is one of the most common and least supported transitions in early motherhood. It's practical, emotional and deeply personal. Many mums feel caught between feeding their baby, returning to their role at work and trying to hold onto a sense of themselves in the process.In this episode of The Science of Motherhood, Dr Renee White offers a calm, evidence-informed conversation about what this transition really looks like. Not the Instagram version. The real one. With practical guidance, emotional reassurance and permission to do this in a way that works for you and your family.Renee explores the realities of combining breastfeeding and paid work, including the systemic gaps that make it harder than it needs to be. She shares practical strategies to prepare before you return, alongside gentle reminders that there is no single right way to feed or work.This episode is about clarity, choice and giving yourself room to adapt as your needs change.You'll hear about:How to talk to your workplace about expressing, your rights and the space you needWhen to introduce bottles, and what to try if your baby won't take oneSetting up a pumping and feeding rhythm that actually fits your workdayWhat usually happens to supply when you go back, and why small dips are commonThe emotional load of this season, and why guilt, grief and relief can all show up at onceSuccess isn't about how long you breastfeed or how often you pump. It's finding what works for your body, your baby, your work and your mind, and letting that be enough. You don't have to nail it on day one. You're allowed to tweak, change your mind and ask for support as you go.Resources & Links

Have you ever googled something at 2am and walked away feeling more confused than before?Feeding and sleep advice can be loud, conflicting, and often loaded with unnecessary pressure, especially in the early weeks when you're already tired and trying to figure everything out as you go.This episode is part of The Science of Motherhood Summer Series, where Dr Renee White revisits some of your favourite conversations, the ones that made you feel calmer, more informed, and less alone.In this replay, Renee chats with Melissa Hays, international board certified lactation consultant (IBCLC), holistic sleep coach, and former paediatric nurse and midwife, about the myths that cause the most stress for new mums. They talk about feeding to sleep, milk supply, breast size, contact sleep, and the belief that going back to work means breastfeeding has to end.If you've ever felt like you're doing it wrong because your baby feeds often, settles best close to you, or doesn't fit the “should” advice you've heard, this episode brings things back to what's normal and what's actually supported by evidence.You'll hear about:Why feeding to sleep is normal, and why guilt around it is so commonWhy breast size has nothing to do with supply, and what affects feeding patterns insteadWhat's happening in the early weeks when milk supply regulatesWhy newborns are wired for closeness, and why “only sleeps on me” is so commonWhy you don't have to wean to return to work, and what continuing can look likeIf feeding or sleep has felt heavier than you expected, this one will help you breathe out.

Going back to work after having a baby isn't just about finding childcare or picking out comfortable outfits in your new postpartum body. It's an emotional, physical, and often overwhelming transition that touches everything from your identity and energy levels to your legal rights and workplace support. In episode 179 of Chick Chat, we talked with Daphne Delvaux, also known as The Mamattorney, about how to co-plan your maternity leave so your return to work feels smoother and less stressful. If you haven't listened to that one yet, definitely go check it out! In today's episode (part two of our conversation), we're diving into what happens after baby: how to navigate the return-to-work phase with confidence and legal protection. Daphne shares what every mom should know before reentering the workplace and how to advocate for yourself if the support just isn't there. Who Is Daphne Delvaux? If you missed part one, Daphne Delvaux is a trial attorney, legal expert, and founder of The Mamattorney, a platform dedicated to educating mothers about their legal rights in the workplace, especially during pregnancy, postpartum, and maternity leave. Daphne's work has helped thousands of women feel more empowered and informed about their options for taking leave, protecting their jobs, and advocating for their families and futures. As a mom herself, she deeply understands the real-life challenges working parents face. What We Talked About This episode is all about the next chapter. What happens when you've had your baby, your leave is ending, and it's time to return to work? Daphne covers each and shares legal protections, emotional prep tips, and powerful mindset shifts to help moms navigate this transition with more ease and less guilt. Here are a few highlights from our conversation: How to prepare emotionally for going back to work Leaving your baby for the first time can be heartbreaking. Daphne shares ways to prepare mentally and emotionally so you're not caught off guard and so you can create space for your own healing, too. The biggest challenges new parents face and how to overcome them From lack of flexibility to outdated expectations, the return to work can be filled with pressure. Daphne talks through practical ways to set boundaries, ask for support, and reset your expectations of yourself. Your legal rights during the return-to-work transition Did you know you're entitled to certain accommodations for pumping? Daphne outlines the federal protections you have, including the PUMP Act, so you know exactly what to expect—and demand—from your workplace. What to do if you face discrimination or lack of support Unfortunately, not every workplace gets it. If you're met with resistance, Daphne explains the steps to take—from documenting everything to filing a complaint—and why it's important to advocate not just for yourself, but for other moms, too. The most overlooked part of preparing for maternity leave and return Most moms focus on the time off, but forget to plan for the return. Daphne shares the #1 thing moms forget to do (and how it can change everything). One proactive step you can take today Daphne closes with one action step that any woman can take right now to ensure a smoother, more empowered transition back to work. Final Thoughts Returning to work after having a baby is hard. But with the right tools, the right mindset, and the right knowledge of your rights, it doesn't have to break you. Daphne Delvaux's work is a powerful reminder that you're not just a working mom, you're a protected, empowered parent who deserves support. Whether you're navigating legal concerns, emotional struggles, or both, this episode will help you return to work on your terms with your confidence and boundaries intact. Again, if you missed our first episode with Daphne (episode 179), where we talked all about co-planning your maternity leave, go listen to that one too.

Returning to work after maternity leave can feel like stepping into a whole new world - one where your values, identity, and confidence may feel completely different from before you left. You may look the same on the outside, but on the inside, you feel like a new person.  I chat with Sarah Gibbins, a leadership coach, HR expert, and mum of four, to explore the unspoken truths of navigating career, identity shift, mum guilt, and motherhood. We dive into: The identity shift women experience after becoming mothers Why guilt and “shoulds” weigh so heavily on working mums, and how to let them go The truth about confidence after kids and how to rebuild it step by step Why “balance” is a myth and what to focus on instead How to navigate the return-to-work transition with more confidence and self-belief If you've ever thought, “I'm not the same person anymore… and I don't know who I am now” — this conversation is for you.     Connect with Sarah on LinkedIn or her website neonpeople.co   Connect with Carina and Working Mumma via Instagram: @workingmummacommunity or LinkedIn Working Mumma or Carina O'Brien and you can sign sign up to the Working Mumma newsletter

You'll probably know Sian from Capital Breakfast where she wakes up the nation alongside Jordan North and Chris Stark, and you might also recognise her from ITV1's This Morning and Lorraine.But more recently, Sian became a mum to baby Ruby and in this episode, we chat about how becoming a mum has shifted her identity, what it was like returning to Capital Breakfast just three months after giving birth, and the shared parental leave setup she and her partner Jake have carved out.Sian also talks honestly about the pressure that exists to 'snap back' to her pre-baby body, and why she's happy just focusing on family and work rather than her abs (whoop!).Follow Sian on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sianwelbyBig thanks to the sponsor of this episode, Eurocamp, the UK's leading European outdoor holiday specialist.
