Back to work

Tomorrow is my first day back at work : I am starting with a short 3 day week. Any words of encouragement from those back at work? Is pumping at work going smoothly for those doing it? I am an auditor and am at client sites all year and I'm very anxious about whether pumping is going to work out.

    I clicked on the wrong board but thought I could offer some advice.

    Invest in a car charger for your pump. You can pump in your car with a cover if you don't have anywhere else to go. Just bring your cooler bag along with ice.

    Pumping at work is not easy. You need to make the time and speak up for yourself if people have questions.

    The first 2 weeks are the worst but they get better.

    It's honestly not that big of a deal. The first day sucked for me, but after that it was fine. They are supposed to provide you a locked room other than a restroom by law to pump in, and adequate time to pump. You may know this but you can refridgerate your pump parts to save cleanup. Bring pics of LO to help with let down and something to do while you pump.

    Totally missed the part about you going to client sites, so PP has good advice about the car!
