Pumping at Work

5/28/2016

0 Comments

 
Pumping at work is a big source of stress and worry with new moms. Most employees are protected by law to pump breastmilk while at work and must be provided with time for pumping and a clean, private place to pump that is not a bathroom.
Breastfeeding women are tremendous assets to their employers; they are organized, hard workers, creative, and motivated. Most importantly, their babies tend to be sick less often than formula feeding babies, which keeps mom at work instead of taking sick days. 

​Skipping pumping sessions can be painful, can lead to mastitis, and can put mom's milk supply at risk
. NPR recently posted this article about missing pumping at work. Perhaps it will help your boss and co-workers understand how important it is for you to get a break to pump.
