I went back to work at 10 weeks post partum. I had to pump 3 times in my 9 hours plus I nursed him before, at lunch and immediately after work. It is really hard, I chose to make that the most important thing in my life. It really is such a short time in my career (less than 1 year, and about 2 months that often). Though, the best day was at 1 year old when I got to pump wean.

When I went back to work, I pumped 3x each day at the office. If you can't do that, do what you can. Your body will adjust to your new schedule if you can only pump a certain # of times per day.

I go back to work in a week (7 weeks pp ) and at 6 weeks pp I am breastfeeding every 3 hours, so that I plan to pump every three hours at work.

I went back to work when LO was 2.5 months, but starting pumping while on maternity leave to build up a stash.

My schedule right when I went back to work was to wake up an hour and a half before baby to pump. Feed her before I left for work. Pump 3x at work. Leave work right by 5:15 to get home to feed her at 6. Pump again at 11 p.m. before bed.

I try to do 2 15-20 minute sessions at work and one 10-minute session. I bring my lunch and eat lunch during one of the pumping sessions. But many times I can only pump 2x a day, I just make up for it by pumping at home.

I went back at 10 weeks and made it work by pumping every three hours. Never had to supplement but I had great supply! The best way to build your supply from the beginning is lots and lots of nursing. Pumping should take a backseat, pumping after nursing, pumping one side while nursing on the other or pumping an hour after nursing in the morning or when you're engorged. Look for a pump with a battery pack or car adapter and you can pump during your commute!

I went back to work at 9 weeks, and I think the best thing that I did was to start pumping from Day 1 to really get my supply up (and bonus- I had an awesome freezer stash). My lactation consultant wanted me to pump 45 minutes per day during those first few weeks when I was also EBF (except for 1 bottle per day, also per my LC's recommendation). I'd pump either after breastfeeding, or I'd pump one side while feeding on the other, or I'd pump a little to get things going and then feed.
What that meant- at least for me- is that when I was pumping at work I could get a lot of milk really quickly. I think when I went back to work I could get 8 oz total in about 5 minutes, so my pumping breaks were super productive. I tried to pump every 2.5 or 3 hours, but it was sometimes closer to 3 or 4.

At 6-8 weeks, I was BFing/pumping every 3 hours. I went back to work at 12 weeks and pumped at 9am, 12p (during my lunch break) and 3pm. Then I would BF when I got home at 6pm. I would highly recommend you buy multiple pump parts so that you don't have to clean your pump parts. I always took 3 sets with me to work. I would just rinse the used parts with hot water and put them in a "dirty" ziploc bag and then use a fresh new set for the next pumping session. You'll be BFing at home and during the weekends so as long as you keep up the 3x at work schedule, your supply should be fine! I also drink tons of water at work (mother's milk tea) and take more milk plus. I'm at 4 months now and so far so good!

Another thing I thought of - I don't wash my pump parts between sessions at work, I rinse them out and store them in the fridge in a tupperware. Saves some time!

I returned to work when my LO was about 4 mos. He is in daycare 9 hrs/day, and usually my husband drops him off, while I pick him up.

I nurse around 6 or 7a depending on when he wakes before work, then again after I pick him up around 5:15p, depending on when his last daycare bottle was. I try to delay to just before his bedtime (around 7p) if possible.

While at work, I pump every 3 hrs: 10, 1, 4. And because I'm not currently making enough in that time to allow him to have 3 6-oz bottles while at daycare, I'm also fitting in another session a couple hours after he goes to bed and before I go to bed. I'm convinced they have him doing keg stands at daycare, as he goes through milk so quickly! He doesn't have a prob. when I'm just nursing him every 3 hrs on a weekend day. I also nurse for wake-ups overnight.

I really wish I could pump more per session, so I'm trying to drink enough water, drink Mother's Milk tea, trying Fenugreek (though have to be more diligent), etc.
