This may seem silly but how do i breast feed and work full time?
I'm exclusively feeding but will be back at work when bub is just a few months old. I understand that i can build up a supply in the freezer before i go back but how do i go 8-9 hours a day without being able to express? How have other mums made it work or is it just not possible?

One of my best friends at work used to express at work. She would take her morning tea/lunch/afternoon tea break and pump. The milk would get stored in the work fridge. It was no big deal.
Your employer should allow you time to pump.
A few times she pumped through meetings with myself.
I suppose it depends on where you work and what sort of job you have. If you work in an office it shouldn't be an issue.
Otherwise you could breast feed at night and formula feed during the day.
Pump at lunch and through the night if you are getting enough sleep. ABA has a hotline you can call ?
