I worked for a full day when my LO was about 7 months old and still feeding every couple of hours (when she was with me). If we were out she could go for longer. I had EBM stored but she wasn't interested and my DH ended up bringing her to me twice during the day. I was away for 12 hours and was able to manage just with the 2 feeds. My boosies were ready to burst when i got home though.
I was back working full time (teacher) at 6mths and expressing for DS. I was expressing about 3-4 times a day - at the start of the day (ie when I got to school), morning tea and lunch and sometimes after school finished. I didn't always get the first one in, it depended on how late DS fed before I left for school.
Storing - I used a little esky/cool bag with icebricks for the milk and fridge in ziplock bag for my pump bit but you'd be able to store that in the cool bag as well (I've since swapped to cool bag for the pump rather than the fridge)
