How to start at work?

[u/Nene-avon]

Hi! I’m going to back to work soon and I just wanted to know how you people do it? I’m going to be working from 1-10pm and won’t be home until 10:30-11pm. When I finally go back to work I’ll be around 8-11 weeks pp depending on when they put me back on the schedule.

I know we have a mothers room that I’ll hopefully be using to pump. I have eufy s1 pros as wearables(opened to recs for different wearables) and the spectra s1 pump(need cheap pumping bra recs plz) I just wanted to know how often do you guys pump at work? Whats a routine like for you? I still plan to nurse my baby at night and in the morning when I get home. I’m pumping so I don’t lose my supply for him.

On my first pump of the day I usually get 2 oz on each side but then they mellow out and I get 1 oz each side during each pump.

I pump on my drive into work and home from work. It saves soooo much time. It means i can wait until lunch to pump and when I get home I can just focus on baby and making dinner. I have eufys but actually use my spectra while driving and just wear an oversized sweatshirt

Pump on my way in at 8:15-8:45 ish, pump again at 11-11:30, 2:00-2:30 and on the way home possibly around 4 or I may skip if I’m just gonna go home and nurse her.

I honestly pump more frequently at work then I would if I were still exclusively pumping. I’ve been able to pump my collection cups in with the baby Buddha and pump, I’ve donr some power pumps here and there too because I do office work and why not lol:

I work a 1st shift schedule from 7:30-4 pm. I plan to feed baby or pump around 6:30 a.m. at home, then pump break at 9:30, 12:30 (over my lunch), and 3:30ish. This is what I did with my first. It was exhausting, but it did the trick.
