Tips for pumping at work

May 16, 2021

Let's talk about breastfeeding and pumping at work.

At the end of 2020, I put out a survey to working mums seeking their experiences as working parents across the stages of going on maternity leave, returning to work, and managing the juggle. The results are very interesting and I'll release the report shortly.

One topic that regularly came up was the lack of support employers gave in regards to breastfeeding and expressing at work. Many women reported that they weren't supported or provided a reasonable space which is against the law.

The decision to express at work is an entirely personal decision.

During this episode I share with you:
* Personal experience of pumping after I returned to work 
* Tips for pumping after you return to work from maternity leave 
* Go through 5 facts to support you in conversations with your employer regarding your wish to pump 
As a working mum, I know how stressful it can be returning to work both for you and your child. Remember fed is best.
