[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My oldest is 12 - when she was born, I and another colleague were the reason they turned an office into a pumping room. We asked for a small refrigerator and two desktop computers so that we could do work while pumping. Why can't you do that? When my youngest (now 8) was born, I worked full time in a SCIF. I would print out reading materials and take them with me to mark up while I was pumping in the lactation room. You could do the same. Be creative.[/quote]

Because you didn’t have the option of a wearable pump.

Let the new generation move forward without your limitations.[/quote]

I was offering up some solutions, which is what OP asked for, sweetie.[/quote]

Not the pp but you did it while adding a clear tone of shame and insinuating she should figure out an alternative because you did. My oldest son is 7 and agreed, at that time pumping at my cubicle would not have been reasonable and we used many of the solutions you mentioned and we were doing all sorts of advocating etc.

You got that response because you implied she isn’t being creative by using a wearable pump at her desk. And you’re responding about pumping when you’re 12 years behind on the technology. It truly is so so different. It’s quiet, hidden underneath your shirt, it doesn’t need to impact this poor woman’s life the way it did ours. Let her live. [/quote]
