Pumping at Work

I am just wondering if anyone out there is a teacher and has tried to pump rather than use formula when going back to work? I will be off for the first six weeks of school with a newborn and will nurse, but once I go back I want to pump. I will only be able to pump when the kids go to PE and possibly at lunch, and I am wondering when I will get everything else done that teachers must do!! If I have parents come to visit during PE, then there goes my pump time and I will have engorgement problems the rest of the day. I would love any...

When Do I Wean from a Bottle?

My son is 1 year old (just turned last week). I've read that he should continue to get 16-24 ounces of milk or formula until 2 years. When do I wean from a bottle? Do I wean to a sippy cup or regular cup? He can drink from a regular cup, but I have to hold it for him. I also worry that he wouldn't drink enough from a regular cup to fullfill the 16-24 ounce requirement. Any ideas or suggestions for weaning from a bottle would be much appreciated! Also, any advantages/ disadvantages to weaning or waiting?
