Back to work and breastfeeding?

[Justgoingwiththeflow]

Anyone else?
Baby is 9 and a half months. I went back to work at the end of last term but I am starting in a new school and panicking. He has lots of allergies and doesn't eat much, mainly milk. Was hoping to have him more reliant on food but no such luck! Had a horrible experience where the crappy room I was given a key to was an office and I was interrupted pumping. Was so embarrassing and feeling nervous it might happen again in new school! Plus I have had to compromise and go up to 0.8 from 0.6 which I didn't want to do with 2 young children. Baby also wakes several times a night and every half hour when he is put down!

Someone tell me it'll be okay! Seriously panicking

Unfortunately in about a 20 minute drive away from childminder so not an option. Will have to ask about a place to pump 😊

I'm starting at a new school tomorrow and still bf a 10 month old. He eats loads so I'm hoping he'll be ok without milk while I'm out. I'm not planning to pump - just hoping my supply will adapt.
People keep telling me baby will quickly get used to it! Good luck x

For god sake he isnt a good partner at all. That really needs addressing.

I asked at my new school today, and was told I have the ladies loos then given a few options room wise, only 1 of which was suitable but no key. I didn't really argue as was a bit flaberghasted and overwhelmed! Just can't believe we live in a world where it's acceptable to do it in the toilet!

It's not acceptable - it's a legal requirement that they provide a suitable room and the legislation specifies not a toilet! Will try to find the link...

From HSE site;
It is not suitable for you to use toilets for expressing milk. Your employer may provide a private, healthy and safe environment for you to express and store milk, although there is no legal requirement for them to do so.
However, your employer is legally required to provide somewhere for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers to rest and, where necessary, this should include somewhere to lie down.

Hope being back at work is going okay...I'm just back too and my 12 month old has decided sleep is for the weak so struggling already!
