Any mommy's back to work and breastfeeding or pumping? Do you have a set schedule? Did you train…

I’m back at work now and I pump every 2-3 hours. Even tho I’m always feeling like I don’t want to do bc I’m tired, you have to push through it. I would say just make sure you have the right size flanges bc that’ll make a difference. And make sure you are pumping for at least 10 minutes

Yes - setting a schedule and consistency is key! You want to keep milk supply up, especially for the days you don’t have to pump bc you have baby with you!

@roth1321 @texxie @morgyporgypudninpie so when it came to pumping at work did you have to take breaks every 2 hours or did you have a job where you could be flexible? Im trying to get a office job but I may be going back to grocery and I know I won't be able to leave the floor just to pump, clean the pump, properly store the milk, etc.

@mamaways, so legally, they have to give you pumping breaks in addition to your regular breaks. And they also have to provide a room that’s not a bathroom for you to pump. If they don’t, they are violating laws and could get in trouble

@texxie awesome!

When I worked it was flexible I worked in an office, although sometimes I did waver from my schedule. I went about 8 months at that point I just wasn’t producing enough (probably bc I wasn’t as consistent as I should have been) and my son didn’t really seem to care if it was a bottle or not, so I slowly started pumping less and less.
