Taiden is 6 and a half months now, and I’m still nursing. I have to pump at work and it’s kind of a hassle. Not because of work… But because there is only one place for me to pump, a bathroom, where 3 other mothers pump. It kinda of a guessing game as to when someone will be in there and I really only talk to one person who uses that restroom. We talked about it and we usually pump around the same time. Really I told her I pump at about 12:30 but I’ve been kind of holding off until 1:00 so it’s kind of my own fault, that she often has to wait outside for me. Today another coworker came back from leave, and while talking about her son she asked me if I pump at work. I beamed and informed on of the “informal nursing room” (sidetrack) It’s kind of funny how she just assumed I am nursing. But I like it. I like that more mother’s are pumping and not supplementing because of the inconvenience of pumping at work. Now if I wasn’t nursing and/or pumping, because I couldn’t produce milk, or my son couldn’t latch on I’m sure I would’ve had a totally different reaction. But I am and I’m proud. Anyways… I was explaining to her how after bitching about it for 3 months I was informally informed of the possibility of a mother’s room. IT. STILL. HASN’T. HAPPENED. I really hope it does. Even if it’s after I’m done nursing/pumping. Because it sucks to pump sitting on a hard chair looking at a toilet. Maybe someone will benefit from my bitching persistence.
Ya would you keep bitching so they can get that room going already for when I have to pump. If you bug them now maybe they will be done with the room by the time I get pregnant, have a baby, come back to Basic and start pumping. Gosh!
