You can breastfeeding or chestfeed in public and you can go back to work or school while continuing to provide your milk.

Rest assured – you have the legal right to feed your baby in any public space. Many mothers successfully use pumps or their hands to express their milk for others to feed when they are away from their infants. Talk to your supervisor about your plans ahead of time and get support from available resources.
