Back to work pumping with toilets flushing

Mobile: back to work pumping with toilets flushing

First day back at work and first time pumping. Our lactation room stinks. It's a walled off section in the bathroom, so sitting hear listening to toilets flush and bodily noises over the roar of my pump. That's all... just wanted to complain lol. I miss my baby :

  • Ugh.  Sorry it's so bad.  Kudos for you for doing it for your baby anyway though!  Good work mama.  Hope it gets better for you!

  • That must be a busy bathroom!
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • It was so quiet when I started then last 10 minutes non stop. On round 2 now, so far it's peaceful :
  • Gross.  Just start pumping in the breakroom to demonstrate your disapproval and until they can get you a better place to pump.

  • today is my first day back to work too (miss my baby like crazy).  We do not have a lactation room, so I asked my boss if I could cover up the windows on one of the open offices and she agreed.  Went in there once this morning and during my lunch break...hope that will be enough until I get home.  Perhaps you could ask for another place since the bathroom is stinky

  • That irritates me a lot, unless there truly is no other way they could have made additional accommodations for you. I would rather pump in my car. Gross.

  • Augh, sorry to hear that!  One of coworkers said she also had to pump in the bathroom when she had her first job.  She had a retail job in a small store with 3 other men so the only place available for her back then was the women's bathroom!

    I am SO fortunate that I have an office to use!
