Ways to make ample milk without taking pumping breaks at work can  include 
using a hands-free wearable pump. 
 
For example: I saw a new mom bedside who would not put baby to breast. Mom  
was agreeable to pumping. We added several strategies to facilitate flow,  
optimize production, and keep her nipples soft and supple. After going home 
she  subsequently came to the hospital 'Breastfeeding Moms Group' regularly. 
 
When returning to work full-time she had a problem with not being able to  
take enough break time to pump ample milk. She was amenable to  trying a 
hands-free wearable double pump. She bought one online and wore it  under her 
bra and work cloths. She liked it so much she used at home  also, she made 
plenty of milk, so much that she started stock piling the  excess in her 
freezer. Her baby was gaining like a champ. 
 
What did surprise me was when I learned that her job was at a veterinary  
hospital and that even with all the inherent physical activity of that job  
including dogs and other animals jumping on her, her wrestling them into 
certain  positions for procedures, she had no problem with the wearable pump  
becoming dislodged. 
 
As for cleaning the pump parts - those can be kept in the refrigerator and  
re-used during work hours, washed later or at home.
