The 4-Week Countdown That Gets Your Milk, Your Nanny and Your Boss Ready Before You Resume
A day-by-day plan for pumping, storing (even with light off) and handing over to your caregiver — done before your first day back.
A day-by-day plan for pumping, storing (even with light off) and handing over to your caregiver — done before your first day back.
You know exclusive breastfeeding matters. You've read the WHO guidelines, watched the YouTube videos, maybe even bought a pump already. But none of that tells you what to do when you're leaving the house at 5:30am to beat traffic, getting home after 8pm, and your baby has been away from you for 14 hours straight.
The advice out there wasn't built for you. It assumes a lactation room that doesn't exist at your office. It assumes light that doesn't go. It assumes a nanny who already knows what she's doing — when really, you're the one who has to teach her.
So you're left doing the maths at 2am, half-panicking, wondering if your supply will survive resumption day, whether your baby will even take the bottle, and whether asking for a pumping break will make you look "less serious" at work.
This isn't a knowledge gap. It's a logistics gap — and nobody has handed you a plan that fits your actual life.
Not a stack of theory. A plan that tells you exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to hand it off to the people helping you.
You walk away knowing your pumping schedule, your storage plan for when light goes, exactly what to tell your nanny, and exactly what to say to your boss — so resumption day isn't a guess, it's a plan you already tested.
"When I returned to my firm after four months of maternity leave, my biggest anxiety wasn't the workload—it was how to keep my baby exclusively on breast milk while dealing with Third Mainland Bridge traffic, power outages at home, and a nanny who had never managed thawed milk before. Most global breastfeeding advice simply doesn't account for the reality of living and working in a Nigerian city.
Resume & Still Breastfeed addresses those specific logistically intense challenges head-on. It gives you realistic pumping timetables around office hours, clear protocols for managing milk storage when the generator goes off, and practical scripts for instructing caregivers. It isn't preachy; it's an operational manual for working mothers who want to protect their baby's nutrition without compromising their career. Highly recommended for any mum preparing to transition back to the office." — Omolara "Lara" Adeyemi, ACA — Senior Audit Manager, Financial Services Practice | Mother of Two
In a study of Lagos female bankers, 94% knew the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding — but only 28.5% actually managed it, with "busy work schedule" cited as the top reason. (International Breastfeeding Journal, 2018)

Every tool above as its own standalone, print-ready file — so you can hand the Caregiver Card to your nanny without printing the whole guide.
Because you've already tried the free route — YouTube videos, Google, aunties, colleagues — and got 12 contradictory answers, none of which accounted for NEPA, your commute, or your specific nanny situation. This isn't more information. It's the plan you build once and actually use, put together in one place instead of scattered across 40 tabs.
You don't need to read it cover to cover before you start. The 10-Minute Resumption Snapshot on page 3 gives you a first-draft schedule in the time it takes to boil water. You can build the rest out chapter by chapter as your resumption date gets closer.
No — and we won't tell you it will. Nobody honest can promise that. What this guide does is show you what actually protects supply (pumping frequency, not teas or myths), so you're working with real information instead of guessing. If you do experience a drop, the red-flag section tells you exactly when to see a professional instead of panicking alone.
Chapter 2 covers bottle introduction timing and who should be the one offering it — often it works better coming from the caregiver, not mum. If baby's already resisting, the guide walks you through what to adjust rather than just telling you to "keep trying."
Yes. The Caregiver Handover chapter and card are written to work for either — a nanny, a grandma, or crèche staff. The instructions are about how the baby gets fed, not who's doing it.
Because this is an instant digital download, we don't offer refunds once the guide has been accessed. What we do promise: if you open it and the 10-Minute Resumption Snapshot doesn't give you a usable first-draft schedule, email us and we'll help make it work for your specific situation, or refund you — no argument.
It's written for anyone resuming work while breastfeeding, first baby or third. If you've done this before, you'll move faster through the basics and get the most value from the workday schedule, storage chart, and HR script — the parts that change every job and every baby.
No. Chapter 3 helps you choose gear at whatever budget you have, from ₦10k to ₦60k+. Nothing in the guide requires you to buy anything beyond what you decide fits your budget.
Open the guide, go straight to the 10-Minute Resumption Snapshot on page 3, and build your first-draft schedule. If it doesn't give you a plan you can actually use for your situation, email us — we'll either fix it with you directly or refund you.
Resume & Still Breastfeed gives you a written, day-by-day plan for pumping, storing milk through power cuts, handing over to your caregiver, and asking your employer for what you're legally owed — built for Lagos traffic, NEPA and nannies, not a foreign office.
