remember to drink and eat snacks.. In the beginning would always get busy at work and forget!!

ok omg you guys are so helpful!!! He's doing really well with breastfeeding now. so this is very helpful so I need to just keep pumping

Pump even when you're lazy!!! Get on a schedule and do not skip a session! When I first started, I pumped til both boobs were completely dry and had enough to make storage bags. Then I got lazy and only pumped enough for him to eat for a few hours and my milk supply drastically reduced. I went from pumping 10 oz from each boob to only pumping 5 oz from both of them combined. I changed that and now I'm back to pumping almost 20 oz every 8 hours but I almost completely lost all of my milk.

don't give up if it's something you really want. it isn't easy. my daughter didn't latch right and made me bleed but I'd never trade the bond we have. when you go back to with make sure you talk to your bosses. they have to give you enough time to do it.
