Frequently Asked Questions

It is sometimes difficult for me to pump—both at work and off-site. How do I accomodate tricky situations?

Causes:
Concerns about interrupting or inconveniencing other employees, privacy, or no electricity often make it difficult for women to pump.

Solutions:

• Before your baby arrives, talk to your supervisor and co-workers to avoid potential problems.
• Carry an extension cord in case you have to use a facility with few outlets.
• Arrange your pumping times so you don't interfere with other employees' break times.

If you still have questions or are experiencing difficulties consult your physician.
