I'm so nervous about being a working mom and breastfeeding. My job isn't really the ideal pumping place nor are they sympathetic to the struggle. I work customer service at a hardware store and the nearest bathroom is literally 19 aisles away. Any tips guys?

I'm going to do that today. I mean even a regular break just for sitting and texting in the back is at least 15 minutes and I work eight hour days so I'll see what rules apply. thanks so much @sarahdrew
that's what bothered me so bad about it. I don't want to think negative but my husband and I have a lot of health probs so I wanted to breastfeed to get ahead and give my son a better fighting chance ya know. And pumping in a nasty hardware bathroom just seemed like 50 steps back. @mommyhughes4
I would check into the laws where you live, but they are supposed to provide you with a place to pump that isn't a bathroom and give you ample opportunity to do so and not rush you... also check to see if they are supposed to give you "breaks" for that along with regular breaks
depending on your state law they can't legally make you pump in a bathroom and it's their job to provide you a safe and sanitary place. call the department of labor where you work and ask
they can not force you to pump in the bathroom. they don't eat where they "go" so why should you have to pump baby's food in there? it's super unsanitary!!
yea I didn't know about it until the nurse at the hospital told me.
seriously? I had no idea and I don't think anyone else does either. A friend of mine who use to work with me was always made to go into the unisex/ family bathroom and rushed through her pumping in like 5-10 minutes by them banging on the door (management). @jasminemaye
well its law they provide you a pumping place with a locked door.
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
How many days do you have left ?!?
How many days until you're done work- if you're still working ?!
I really don't understand the judgment between being a working mom or a stay at home mom. If you need to work, work. If not, don't. No need to degrade other women for doing the opposite of you. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
We are having a debate at work....
Should you pick up hitchhikers?
How many of you ladies work??
