If you haven't already, check out this link from http://www.kellymom.com (great breastfeeding site with tons of info.) about 'working' (going to school) moms & breastfeeding. Great choice, I'm glad you'll keep up with the breastfeeding during school. Kudos~

Also, I'm not sure how your school works, but some student moms are allowed to bring their babies to school and breastfeed them during class (if the baby isn't disruptive)- if you are interested in that you can talk to your school and/or individual professors.

Well I work full time and I pump. It is some getting used to and getting creative- but it is totally possible. I read the milk diaries..the book..and it is a fun book with a lot of great tips and advice and tells about women going to work full time (yours is just called school, lol) while balancing motherhood and breastfeeding. It made me feel less scared of it all. Now it has been 6 months and I am still pumping during the day. You can make it work for you! Good luck!

Your schools health services should be able to point you to somewhere you can pump. Also do searches to see if they have "lactation services"
If you dont or have any trouble, track down a professor in the Women Studies dept. Some have probably done studies, and may know who on campus to talk to, or even get fired up to get something started. Then bring up how Monsanto was pushing formula in areas with tainted water.

it variety of sounds like pumping is your appropriate selection. you are able to pump extremely some milk at as quickly as and then freeze your milk for later use. you additionally can use formula and breastmilk while you're pushed for time.

Breast pump.
You just have to plan and organize well.
