Don't want but have to go back to work in less than 2 weeks and dd is now 7 months. I will be leaving the house at 7.45 and back around 4 ish.
I dont have a steriliser but do have a breast pump.
As i work in a school I really dont want to express there but dd is at the moment not having many solids.
I have under 2 weeks to get her ready to be left with dh during the day.
Do I need to express or can i slowly cut back the feeds during the day?
Can she manage without milk during the day and be alright on solids until I get back. I still intend to breastfeed her for some time yet and dont want to give her formula although will do if need be.
She doesnt take a bottle but drinks well from a beaker of water and I dont want to introduce a bottle now.

Any help or advice much appreciated.
TIA

Thanks for all the messages. I have spoken to my school and they are going to give me a key to a small room to express so no worries there.
My evening time is precious especially with an older ds so i m going to jusdt express at lunch time and dh will give her milky foods for her food, water and my expressed bm.
I think anyother milk she needs will then be when i get home.

Thanks again.
