Are you heading back to work a few short weeks after you have your baby?
Are you sweating thinking about the idea of pumping milk at work?
If so, you aren’t alone. So many women have walked in your shoes when it comes to this issue. I know because I was one.
When I was pregnant with my first baby, the thought of taking my breast pump to work and finding a place where I could use it had me so nervous. The office I worked at wasn’t kid friendly and that wasn’t going to change just because I had decided to have one.
But, as nervous as I was, I knew I wasn’t going to stop breastfeeding my baby just because I was worried. I had to power through my discomfort and do the best I could to provide for my baby.
So, I talked to other moms and did some cyber searches until I had a plan in place that made me feel slightly better about my situation. I’m happy to share what I’ve learned to spare any other moms from the dread I felt.
Breastfeeding at work can be uncomfortable, but if anyone gives you a hard time about it, remember it’s your right.
