I’m a 9th year third grade teacher & mama of two boys too! Just had our second in the end of February so I will also be pumping this school year. What worked for me with our first was pumping in the morning before students, during snack & lunch (my school had to find someone to watch my students during snack) and at the end of the day after students left. This kept my supply pretty solid. I also use the Motif Luna pump. Would highly recommend it! It’s a rechargeable pump so you don’t have to be attached to the wall but is stilll the higher suction, hospital grade stuff. Fully covered under my insurance! I’ve heard that the hands free pumps don’t provide as good output so that could help?Happy to chat about all the things 💞
Retired Primary school teacher here. Really enjoy watching your videos. 👏Excited for your new school teaching routine .👍 No advice on feeding babies! 🍼
Hi! Love watching your videos. 💕 You have the cutest style. This will be my first year departmentalizing with 3 blocks. I'll be teaching 90 minute blocks and will be teaching 5th grade science and writing. I would love to see how you lesson plan for science. 👏🏼🧪👩🔬 looking forward to future videos!
July 31st for teachers, August 7th for the kids! North Texas
I pumped for my 3 kids, they never got formula. I had lots of milk. But you also need to sit down somewhere quiet to pump. You have to set your mind to it. I am a teacher from Curaçao.
Something to consider when grading writing is that you can’t grade everything. I focused on one skill a week when I grade my student’s papers, be it strong hooks, strong conclusions, run-on sentences, main idea, supporting details, etc. I think you get the idea. Also, I NEVER fix misspelled words because I believe they will never learn to write them correctly. I just circle them and whenever they have extra time, they need to look them up.
It helps to be really hydrated and I had a picture of my babies to look at while pumping. That seemed to help me. There are also natural supplements like fennel that help boost your supply.
One thing that really helped was pumping after breastfeeding (I learned this with my first who was in the NICU and didn't have the energy to increase my supply). You're essentially telling your body you need to make more milk because the baby is still hungry. At first you won't get as much but it really helps when you do a true pump because your body will be used to producing more.It upped my supply a ton! When I did nurse her I used a Haaka to catch the letdown from the other breast while nursing and saved that milk too.
We went 8-3. I pumped on the way to school at 7:00-7:30, 10:00-10:30, 1:00-1:30 and on my way home about 3:30-4 (she was usually napping when I got home so there wasn't a rush to nurse). I was able to successfully teach and pump without having to use formula!
Take raspberry leaves and brewers yeast to increase milk supply and use your pumps during the day every 21/2 to 3 hours. Also pump after you feed your baby of other side.
I feel your frustration. I breastfeed/pumped for over a year when I went back to teaching. I highly recommend Mothers Milk tea. I bought at Target and drank it religiously throughout my pumping days. I think it definitely helped my milk production.
Love your channel! Have water in every nook and cranny. You must drink water like never before. It will increase your milk production. It is liquid gold! Praying for you!
I return to school July 22 for a two week jump start program for our at-risk 4th graders. The new school year begins August 12th here in northern Indiana. Back when I was breastfeeding my kiddos I would pump in the nurse’s office during my lunch. If there were students in there then I would use the storage closet in her office. It was not ideal in any way. Back then pumps were noisy and had to be plugged into an outlet and my classroom had a huge window facing the hallway so there was no privacy to do it at my desk. For my last baby I didn’t produce enough milk and had to supplement. Hoping things work out for you.
I spent 27 years teaching in the district that created BT! I retired in 2021. I miss it so much so I watch videos to keep me in the loop and because I always enjoyed the "seasons" of the school year. So excited to see your new home, too! I miss those days and you truly are in the best days ever! I've been watching you since you had your princess party business as well. Fun to see you in the deep! Enjoy!!!
I always report to school the day after Labor Day (since we end school the very end of June). I would love for you to do a video on the various science resources you use. I am aware of mystery science and love it, but don’t know much about generation genius.
My school has teachers going back on August 5th and students on the 12th. ;)
I love watching your videos. I go back on July 26. I plan to go in the week before since I'm moving grade levels. Moving from 2nd to 3rd to teach Science & Social Studies.
Hi.. it’s been a while since I had babies, but my coworker would pump during prep time for 30 minutes and freeze the milk …
I report back to work Aug. 12 and first day of school is Aug. 19..
I teach in Texas .. I hope you have an amazing school year. Always enjoy watching all your videos. Best of luck!
4th grade teacher here from Illinois. This past school year was the first year where my partner teacher and I were able to work together and switch classes. It was amazing and we covered some much more together. We started out with a really low group of students and we seen great gains test score wise from our students this past year. I think anytime that you work as a team the outcome will always be successful.
Teachers back the week of Aug 20 for PD & prep, First day w/students Aug 28. I feel your anxiety with breastfeeding and going back to work. That was my biggest challenge as well. My. kiddos are now 11 and 14, so it's been a while since I've had to balance all of that. Prayers that all will work out for you and your family.
I pumped during my lunch and right after school.
I didn’t ask for additional time to pump. It seemed to workout for me. But I know in some states that pumping is protected by law and they are supposed to provide a time and space for you.
I don’t teach anymore however, I work with the school assessment team and we go back on September 5 here in New York.
When I went back to teaching after having my first I pumped on the drive to school, once during the school day, and again on the drive home from school. I wish I could have pumped twice during the school day but it just didn’t work out schedule wise. Good luck!!
We chatted on Instagram about pumping while teaching but a few more tips after watching your video. Have you tried a wall plug in pump, I think sometimes those can get more out? Also try things that can increase your supply like body armours and other snacks. With my first when I made just enough or a little less I would power pump. Also first thing in the morning you get the most milk so I would try to pump before the baby got up in the morning to have a little extra milk to have enough for the day for daycare. 4oz for a baby eating every 3 hours is typical. Wishing you all the luck✨.
We start school here in Iowa on 8/23!
We have WIN also! I has never heard of WIN before teaching at my current school! I hope you get into the flow of the schedule soon! Best wishes for a great year! ❤❤
I go back August 15th!
Just breathe, sweet lady! It will be o.k. The more stress you feel, the less you are going to be able to produce. Relaxation is key. Make sure you are drinking enough, especially in the Arizona climate.
I go back to work on Aug. 12 and the kids come the following week. I have done a three way split for my entire career. Currently I teach science and social studies. Last year I did social studies on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and science on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It was a struggle but I got it all covered.
Teaching Esy til Tuesday. Then have off until August 8th and kids start August 13th
Hi there, I teach 2nd grade and go back to work on August 5th. I used my beast pump at recess and lunch in my classroom. It was stressful because I always had someone knocking on my door needing something from me, a coworker or student. I bottled the milk and kept it in a mini fridge in my class. You need to get the best breast pump you can find. That will make a difference. Don’t be afraid to let your principal and coworkers know that you need your recess and lunch time to pump so they can give you the time you need. You must stick to a pumping schedule or your supply will dry up. I was able to do it and so can you. You just have to stick to it. Your baby is counting on your milk 🥛 Good luck! You got this!!! 💜
Last school year, I went back when my baby was 6 months old so I had established a pretty good supply but it was just breastfeeding. Getting her on a bottle for daycare was my biggest struggle lol. Anyway, my supply dipped drastically like a week into the school year. I wasn’t prioritizing pumping, drinking enough water or eating enough throughout the day. Sticking to a pumping schedule and having a water competition with a coworker helped (She just had a baby too). I also did a power pump session every other day for a week or so to get the supply back up. My coworker decided to switch to formula to save her sanity. She doesn’t regret the decision at all. If I had the financial means to do so, I may have switched too. It was so hard, but we made it. Still nursing baby girl at 16 months ❤
You’re doing great, mama!
My insurance paid for me to rent a hospital-grade pump. I had to go see a lactation specialist first and she completed the request for me. It was so much more effective at pumping and keeping my supply up. When I pumped at school, I was able to do it twice during school hours during my lunch and during planning. To be honest, I ended up losing my supply. My baby wanted to cluster feed all night and I couldn’t get any sleep. I was a mess. We did end up needing g to do formula. Not trying to be discouraging!! I really hope it works out for you. Make your sleep and your nutrition a priority. And see about getting a better pump. Best wishes to you ❤.
I was a pumping teacher mom last year. I told my principal I am a mom first and I will need someone to let me leave 30 minutes additional to my planning each day. Also kept a mini fridge. The reading specialist would come in and relieve me. Just had to make it work.
We report back August 8th and school starts August 19. I have an infant as well but am using formula. He’ll be going to daycare which is scary.
Formula should be free!!! I have talked to my friends a lot about this. It sucks to teach and not make a lot of money, but also not qualify for the low income assistance programs. I think if our salaries aren't increased, there needs to be some sort of support for all teachers, families and singles, who need help literally just living day to day. Even if it's just food stamps or something.
Not a teacher just a homeschool mom🤣 but I exclusively pumped for two of my kids. Those middle of the night pumps are really important. if I skipped those my oversupply dipped down to almost nothing within a few weeks. I do think it's different with every kid though. Try different flange sizes I think that was one reason why my 3rd had better success.
NC (different in every county), but we go back August 12 & students return August 26. I’m in HS SpEd, so we have a planning block that’s about 80 minutes. Most mom’s bf during planning & lunch. I wasn’t able to bf, so I can’t really help (of course, that was almost 17 yrs ago!😮
Here is my teaching pumping advice:
Feed baby before you leave in the morning, pump at lunch/recess and then feed baby right when you get home.
You could also pump on the way to and from work if you needed to.
I found my baby just naturally started eating less while I was at work and would eat more while I was home.
Teachers go back August 1st students come back the 13th . I am in northern Florida .
Does your pediatrician give out free cans of formula or coupons for formula? I was never able to produce a supply from pumping and had to use formula when I went back to work.
I know this might not be the advice you want to hear. I am a teacher and I have pumped at work for 2 of my children and made it to a year. I am about to start pumping in the fall for baby 3. I couldn’t do work and pump. I would produce basically nothing. I had to do something relaxing, I would scroll or read a book. But if I worked I would pump next to nothing and I have no clue why that happened.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wouldn't Writing go better with ELA? It's one of the language arts ( thinking, listening, speaking, reading, and writing). Plus, wouldn't Math and Science go together better?
When I taught departmentalized classes, i was the ELA & Social Studies teacher. My partner taughr Math and Science. I would teach a skill in Reading. Then we would use that skill in Social Studies, since it's informational text. For example i might teach text features or main idea and details in Reading one week. The next week, we would use those skill in a Social Studies lesson.
My Math partner(s) used Science to help students apply what they learned in Math, like measurement, data & graphing, etc. Just an opinion.
Have a great 2024 and 2025 school year how is the new baby doing
Hello! I teach 4th into reading too. Let me know if you ever want to collaborate! I have it down to a pretty good science!
Why don't you teach math and science and the other teacher teacher teaches reading and history
Why don’t you just keep your own classes and teach everything?
