[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aren’t jobs now required by law to provide moms with a place/time to pump? You need to schedule 20 minute breaks in your day to pump. You can do this![/quote]

OP said she sees patients during the day with 5-10 minutes between patients. No she can't schedule 20 minute breaks in her day. Formula feeding is just as good. Many people in the medical field don't get the luxury of being able to pump at work. [/quote]

Maybe extend the leave more then. She can definitely pump at lunch. And maybe once more around 4 pm. I’m sure she will be allowed a 15 minute break once to pump. Most likely she wouldn’t be the only nurse there. [/quote]

OP here. I'm the only nurse practitioner at the site. I only have time to pump during lunch. I can't take a 15 minute break to pump because I have patients. I won't be able to pump at 4 because I will be working. [/quote]

That should be okay, I think. Breastfeeding morning, pumping lunch, pumping after work before leaving, breastfeeding when you get home and settled, breastfeeding again at night before bed.[/quote]

Maybe OP doesn't want to any of this.[/quote]

True, but OP's question was that she goes back to work in 4 months and she works "in a job where pumping isn't possible". I was simply pointing out that it would be possible to do it in lunch and after work, and not take work hours. That probably wouldn't work for a new baby but I think by 4 months it could work just fine (in my experience as a mom of 3), and then she could also get a good sleep every night as well. Her supply might slowly dwindle but she'd still give the baby a lot of milk for 6 months, which would be my personal goal in her situation.[/quote]
