Pumping at work/time between sessions

I just got my schedule for the fall, I'm a teacher so I don't need to worry about it until the spring, but since my schedule isn't going to change I figure I can ask now anyway. My official start time 7:30am and it takes me 35 minutes to get to work. Basically I will be dropping baby off at 6:30-6:45am and then heading into work. My students show up in my classroom at 7:50 and I go straight through until 12:45 without a break. I then have lunch and prep until 3pm (I get last prep) when I am done. I figure I will pump right away at 12:45, but I am pretty sure my last feeding/morning pump will be around 6am. That is almost 7 hours!! That's too long isn't it? Is it possible to squeeze another pump session in at 7:20 and just keep my door closed and locked? Also, would it be ok to pump again at like 2:30 before I leave and feed LO when we get home around 4 or is that too close together? TIA.

    I am assuming something like this:

    530am - BF

    720am - pump

    12:45pm - pump

    2:30pm - pump

    4pm - bf

    bf for the remainder of the evening as baby needs.

    i think your schedule looks fine.  

    Maybe make the 720 one a bit earlier if kids come in early.

     

    This is mine.

    6:00 - BF

    6:30 - pump

    10:00 - pump

    1:30 - pump

    4/4:30 - BF

    I would pump and drive.  That way you can pump on your way to work after you drop off the baby.  Just pull over right before you get to work, unhook and then go to work.
