Any pumping teachers?

Question

Hi everyone! I'm a FTM and my LO is 7 weeks. Next month I'll be returning to work, I am a teacher. I was wondering how all you other teachers pumped at school? Was it hard to find the time between recess, lunch, meetings, and duties? Where did you pump? tia!

Answer

My colleague came back to work in Jan 2017 and she pumped when she got to work at 7:30, at lunch 10:50-11:30, and after school at 2.  She was able to get one of the unused rooms in the office to pump. 
I think my situation will be different. I'm supposed to go back to work when my son is 3 months but I may extend it to January which will make him 6 months old. I'm hoping I get the same as my colleague, but we're getting a new principal and we have an new admin position which means the office room that was once used as her pumping room is taken.
Being a teacher + having a baby is so hard!!!

Answer

I teach HS. I pumped in the car on my way to work and then during prep and lunch. Then nursed once I got home. I had a closet in my room I used and used a cooler bag with ice packs to store.

Answer

With my first, I pumped or nursed right before I left, during my prep which was before lunch, at lunch, and then right when I got home. I never made much milk for him so it was only like an ounce or two at best for each pump. It was sort of a pain but having my own mini fridge and microwave helped. I was able to sterilize stuff but sometimes I just kept my stuff in a ziploc in the fridge. I also used pump part Wipes. I bought a cardboard room divider to put up around my desk and two of those cardboard triptych things for science projects to make a little fort, which made myself more comfortable. I would watch videos of my baby and look at all my pictures of him while I pumped (sometimes I cried bc I missed him) or my husband sent me videos. I lasted four months doing it.
