Breastfeeding

Going back to work

DS is 6 weeks old, which means I only have 6 weeks left of maternity leave.  I know it's going to go by so fast and I'm dreading going back to work.  I'm hoping Blue Cross will cover the cost of a good electric pump so I can pump at work and continue giving breast milk.  My concern with daycare is feeding him and schedules.  Currently he feeds on demand and we don't have a schedule.  Also, I don't know how many ounces to give him at a time.  How many ounces of breast milk should a 12 week old be eating and how often should I tell them to feed him?  I'm also concerned about nap times.  Currently I nurse him to sleep, and I believe that is the only way he will fall asleep, day and night.  How will day care get him to sleep?  I don't want him to cry the whole time I'm at work because he just wants to nurse.  Ack, I know it's still 6 weeks away, but I'm so anxious and nervous about this.
