Default BF and returning to work

I am returning to work PT on Feb 19th for a period of 2-weeks (M,W,F), and then going back to my normal FT schedule (M-F) on March 5th. I have been pumping and freezing EBM once per day to build up a stash, but need some help as to organize things for when I go back to work PT.

I know that when I go back FT, I can feed DS before I leave and when I return home, and pump at the office 2-3 times per day, but what is the best way to approach this during the 2-weeks that I will be working PT?

Thanks!

Default RE: BF and returning to work

Hi there,
I work MWF and bf my daughter. I feed dd before I go to work, pump twice while I'm there (8-5) and feed her when I get home. I rarely pump on the days I am home with her - unless I feel unusually full. (I don't have a freezer stash. I actually produce enough milk that I don't need one.) But, I let her nurse as frequently as she'd like.

If I wanted to build a freezer stash, I would probably try to pump three times a day at working and then pump at least once a day while home with dd.
