Breast Pump Question

feather25

I'm a soon to be first time mom. My office only has one bathroom that we share with 10 other people. It's a small office to begin with, there are no extra rooms. It's a one room, shared office space. Sine I work for such a small company we had no maternity policies in place before I got pregnant. I'm trying to figure out how I would breast pump when I go back to work. What would you do in that situation? I think it would be embarrassing to pump in that bathroom. Also how often do you have to pump? I wonder if I could split my lunch break up and run home to do it, or even just go home to feed the baby during the day.

Is there any kind of supply closet that you could use?  If not, I'd pump in the car.  I always pumped twice a day, for about 15mins each.

If you wouldn't eat in the bathroom, I wouldn't pump in there. Is there a storage closet (clean) that can be used?  Our closet is just an office without windows, and that's what I used, it had file cabinets a light, carpeted, and worked great. My

I pumped 3X a day and was away from LO for about 9-10 hrs/day.  I did this during 15 minute breaks.  

I used my boss's office; he offered his office when I told him I would need a place to pump.  So, if anyone has an office you mig

Unfortunately none of us has an office, not even my boss. We sometimes have to park on the street so it might be kind of awkward to pump in my car. That's really my only option other than going home.
