Is it possible to go 12 hours through the day without nursing/pumping at all?

My LO is 10 weeks, and I’ll be returning to work in a couple weeks. I currently nurse for night feeds, nurse a couple times during the day, pump once or twice a day depending on convenience, and formula for the rest. Baby probably gets like 1/3 or 1/2 of their diet as formula, varies daily because we don’t really have a schedule.

When I go back to work I really don’t want to pump during the work day, it will just be logistically challenging and add to my work stress. But I’m not ready to give up breast feeding completely yet. Could it be possible for me to only nurse/pump between 7pm to 7am? Have any of you done something similar?
