If I am not nursing for 8 hours a day..

as long as u pump it you'll have milk.

You can always pump at break or during lunch... whenever you have a private time alone.

I think you will be a little uncomfortable until your body adjusts to the new nursing schedule.

Nope. Milk is made ON DEMAND. When baby latches, that's demand and milk is made. Same with a pump.

You will likely be uncomfortable, though, unless you stop to pump. If your employer has a payroll of more than 50, they MUST accomodate you.

depending on how often you are nursing now, it might take a while to adjust. i went back to work when my LO was 6 months. I could go all day without pumping if I needed to. Say I was in meetings or training all day. otherwise I always pumped. On the days I didn't pump during the day, I had to at night because LO could drink it all. :)

I pumped to maintain my supply so I could feed her like normal on weekends and so she got bottles while I was away. otherwise, I think it would have taken a couple of weeks to even out.

I was able to train my body. After a few weeks of just nursing, I introduced the bottle at noon. Everyday at noon I gave her a bottle and didn't nurse. Then a week later I replaced another feeding with a bottle. In the end, when I went back to work, I nursed in the morning, sent her to daycare with bottles. Never needed to pump. When I got home around 5 I nursed, I nursed all evening and through the night. I was able to keep that up with 2 kids for around 9 months each. It worked great for me.
