[quote=Anonymous]Not Op - I pump 3x at work (twice on Fridays because I'm so sick of it) and twice at home to maintain my already dwindling supply.

However, I pump with other women - get a hands free bra and a shawl or cardigan for modesty and go for it.

Also, if your work doesn't support pumping - which it doesn't seem to - just suck it up and buy a small fridge if you're allowed to bring it in.  A beer fridge won't cost you much, especially since it's back to school time and the stores all sell them for dorms.  Go to BB&B with a 20% off coupon and there you go.  Keep plastic bags, paper towels, and bam.  Store in bags, put in fridge, clean up at the end of the day (I think I'm the only mom who cleans pump parts at work in my room - everyone else takes them home).

I also don't think there can be any real personnel action against you on this - if you're worried, talk to HR.

While I was on leave, they RIF'd my job (I was the one out, so I got the RIF).  The fed is all talk when it comes to supporting women and/or families IMO.  [/quote]
