Working Moms: Feeding/Sleep Schedule

When you went back to work, did you put your baby on a set feeding/sleeping schedule? I'm headed back next week (unfortunately) and am not sure what to do. My daughter will be 14 weeks next week, but she was a little premature so adjusted age is 8 weeks. I'd like to keep letting her eat & sleep on demand (she sleeps great at night, so no issues there), but not sure how to make it work along with pumping...I don't want to get so out of sync that I can't nurse her in the evenings/night/early morning, but I want her to be able to eat when...

Breastmilk Safety Question

Hello moms! I have a quick question. I have all the breastmilk safety guides, but still am unclear about one thing.

On occasion, I take the bottle out when baby is normally about to wake from a nap and will be ready to eat...and then she sleeps longer so I have to put it back in the fridge.

Questions About Breast Pumps

I have a lot of questions about breat pumps. I will have to return to work about 6 weeks after having my baby so I will need to pump my breastmilk. I have heard that the Medela and Ameda pumps are good. Also heard that the Lasinoh is comparible to the Ameda. Any thoughts? Do most pumps come in standard sizes so any bottle can attach to it? Also anybody know how often I will need to pump? Obviously, there's a lot I don't know about pumping!
