A good friend of mine comes over from time to time to "help" me at the daycare as a volunteer, and she brings her child. I can tell you that it is difficult when she is tending to her own child for her to be of any help to me. The issue would be compounded by her breast feeding- taking time to just be with her child, while I am doing the work. Her help is free, and irregular, so I wouldn't complain, BUT if I was paying her to help me, I would have a major issue with her taking time with her child when I have a group to tend to. Agree with Craftymom- it's going to be hard to find a position where you can bring your child and breastfeed as you are doing now. You may have to adjust your feedings to breaks only, if you want to continue these feeds.
