How to breastfeed and go to school?!

Question

Hi everyone I’m due May 19th with baby #2 and hoping to breastfeed a lot longer than I did with my first. I start school again June 3rd so not too long of a break in between. My class will be from 6-9pm 4 days a week. Will I need to pump during my class? Or maybe before then after?? 
My first usually ate every 3 hours so I’m sure this baby will be around the same. I need help

Answer

Also bring a little ice chest to keep the milk cool that you pumped prior to or during or after class.

Answer

I always brought a hand pump and my cooler and I would pump at the time my kiddo would be eating! I’m sure most professors would be more than willing to let you take a quick pump break!

Answer

I teach a night class once a week from 6-830. I pump before class, usually between 5/5:30 and if I plan to stay a bit to grade until 9/930 I will pump before I go home, about 15 minute commute. (How on earth do mamas pump in the car?! I would make a mess, I know it.) I will also just go straight home, pump, and get a decent yield—if baby is fast asleep! Otherwise, I nurse when I get
home.

Answer

If you pump before and after class that should be fine since it’s recommended to feed/pump every 2-3 hours in the beginning. 😊 if you get breaks during your class you may want to bring your pump just in case.
