But now, the return to work looms, and if you\u2019re planning to continue breastfeeding, you might be dreading the thought of pumping at work. It&#8217;s even more of a challenge to plan out how you will pump breastmilk at work to keep up your milk supply throughout the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of my own return to work experience, I want to share with new mothers the pumping at work tips you should know before heading back to the office. Being prepared will not only make you less anxious about pumping in the office, but will also help you keep breastfeeding longer and maintain your milk supply.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id1205_c29c12-3f .kb-table-of-content-wrap{padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id1205_c29c12-3f .kb-table-of-contents-title-wrap{padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id1205_c29c12-3f .kb-table-of-contents-title{font-weight:regular;font-style:normal;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id1205_c29c12-3f .kb-table-of-content-wrap .kb-table-of-content-list{font-weight:regular;font-style:normal;margin-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;}<\/style>\n\n\n<p><strong><em><strong>This post contains affiliate links, which means if you click on the link and make a purchase, I\u2019ll earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.<\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are certain things a breastfeeding mom needs to be aware of when returning to work including preparing your baby to take a bottle with their caregiver, making sure you have an adequate pump, and making sure there is a dedicated space at work for you to pump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I was breastfeeding my first, there were so many things I wish I knew ahead of returning to the office after my 4-month maternity leave. I was too embarrassed to ask my manager about pumping and had no clue whether any of my coworkers had done it. I was also nervous about taking frequent noticeable breaks when I worked in an open environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually, I connected with another colleague who showed me &#8220;the ropes&#8221; about pumping at our office. She showed me where the lactation room was located, how to book it, and who I could direct my questions to if I needed anything specific in the room. She may have thought it was no big deal, but I was so relieved and encouraged to pump at work because of her!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I want you to find the same support and confidence to be able to pump at work successfully.

No need to wait until after your baby is born! You should try and order one as soon as your insurance company will allow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to get the most efficiency out of your work pumping sessions, you&#8217;ll need a good breast pump, ideally an electric breast pump.

This applies for one year after the baby&#8217;s birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under that same <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dol.gov\/agencies\/whd\/nursing-mothers\/faq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">law<\/a>, an employer is also required to provide a private room, <strong>NOT a bathroom<\/strong>, where the employee can pump milk. The room has to be blocked from view and free from intrusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that in some circumstances, an employer with less than 50 employers is not required to provide a break time to nursing mothers. Also, some employees, such as those that are exempt from the law, may also not be covered. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncsl.org\/research\/health\/breastfeeding-state-laws.aspx\" class=\"ek-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">many states<\/a> now have similar laws that offer greater protections to nursing employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you do your research and know what your rights are before discussing it with your boss. While some employers will do the right thing and comply with the law, as a former employment discrimination lawyer, I can tell you right now some employers either are not aware of the laws or will completely ignore them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>* Please note while I&#8217;m an attorney, this is not intended to be legal advice, it&#8217;s for educational purposes only.

It&#8217;s best to do this a few months before you return to work so that if your job needs to make certain accommodations to make a lactation room available to you, they have time to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some items you could discuss with your boss:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>your intention to continue expressing milk for your baby during the workday;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>your need for reasonable breaks to be able to pump;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>your need for a designated, private place for pumping (that is not a bathroom) and whether a lactation room already exists in your office; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>specific items that you may need in the room (such as a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/42YFG7l\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">mini-fridge<\/a> to store milk, a <a href=\"https:\/\/hardknockmama.com\/best-breastfeeding-chairs-for-nursery\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"925\">comfortable chair<\/a>, a table, an outlet, etc.).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t feel comfortable talking with your boss about it, start with someone in your human resources department. They are usually equipped to walk you through the process and discuss existing protocols in place for nursing mothers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Recommended post: <a href=\"https:\/\/hardknockmama.com\/best-breastfeeding-chairs-for-nursery\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"925\">11 Best Breastfeeding Chairs for Your Nursery<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4: Build a freezer stash of breast milk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A few weeks before returning to work, it&#8217;s a good idea to start pumping extra milk and began building your freezer stash. This way if your milk supply does drop after starting work or you experience other unexpected issues with pumping, you&#8217;ll have enough milk to hold your child over and give you peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t usually pump milk, get into the habit by starting with one session after your child is done feeding. Then introduce another session the next day at another feeding. Do this everyday until you&#8217;re pumping at least 3 times a day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more consistent you are, the more signals you&#8217;ll give your body about how much milk to produce during a certain time of day, so you should start to see an increase in milk production after pumping consistently for a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Recommended post: <a href=\"https:\/\/hardknockmama.com\/how-keep-breast-milk-frozen-while-traveling-ultimate-guide\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"445\">How to Keep Breast Milk Frozen While Traveling: The Ultimate Guide<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5: Get your baby used to taking a bottle from someone else<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1703\" src=\"https:\/\/hardknockmama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Baby-drinking-from-bottle-scaled.webp\" alt=\"Baby drinking from bottle\" class=\"wp-image-4116\" style=\"width:463px;height:308px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hardknockmama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Baby-drinking-from-bottle-scaled.webp 2560w, https:\/\/hardknockmama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Baby-drinking-from-bottle-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/hardknockmama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Baby-drinking-from-bottle-1024x681.webp 1024w, https:\/\/hardknockmama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Baby-drinking-from-bottle-768x511.webp 768w, https:\/\/hardknockmama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Baby-drinking-from-bottle-1536x1022.webp 1536w, https:\/\/hardknockmama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Baby-drinking-from-bottle-2048x1363.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest struggles moms returning to work face with babies who are exclusively breastfeeding is getting their baby to take a bottle with a caregiver. Although it&#8217;s more challenging with exclusively breastfed babies, if you start trying to introduce a bottle a few weeks in advance of your return to work, you&#8217;ll find that your baby will grow used to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because your baby smells your breastmilk when you&#8217;re around and associates you with breastfeeding, it would be a smoother transition if someone else, like your spouse or other family members, introduce the bottle to the baby.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another great way to ease your baby to the bottle is to get a bottle with a nipple that mimics the flow and feel of the breast. These bottles are ideal for breastfed babies due to the slow-flow option for nipples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3GO4WRk\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"ek-link\" target=\"_blank\">Comotomo Baby Bottle<\/a>&#8211; has a wide nipple with a breast-like design to mimic latching and breastfeeding<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3seSlCJ\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dr. Brown Natural Flow Bottle<\/a>&#8211; has a natural flow for paced-feeding to prevent nipple confusion, and is one of the best anti-colic bottles on the market.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mhpUAq\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Philip&#8217;s Avent Bottles<\/a>&#8211; my personal favorite.

It&#8217;s also a good idea to keep an extra set or two of pump parts at work, because inevitably there will be some days you forget a piece at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, as you&#8217;ll see below, it&#8217;s much easier to have a few extra sets of pump parts, then having to clean one set thoroughly after each pumping session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7: Follow guidelines for cleaning pump parts safely and milk storage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re going to be using the same pump parts for multiple pumping sessions at work, it&#8217;s SO important to follow the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/healthywater\/hygiene\/healthychildcare\/infantfeeding\/science-behind-recommendations.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">recommendations and guidance<\/a> for cleaning your pump parts and storing breast milk. Germs and harmful bacteria can quickly grow on breast pump parts that haven&#8217;t been cleaned properly, exposing your child to the risk of infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wrote a detailed post on <a href=\"https:\/\/hardknockmama.com\/how-to-clean-breast-pump-parts-at-work\/\" class=\"ek-link\">how to clean breast pump parts at work<\/a> safely, so that it&#8217;s one less thing you have to worry about on your return to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also important to be thoroughly familiar with the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/breastfeeding\/recommendations\/handling_breastmilk.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">CDC\u2019s guidelines<\/a>&nbsp;on breast milk storage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Save breast milk in <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/32ajKL8\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">bags intended for storing breast milk<\/a>.

You&#8217;ll be pumping multiple times per day, so to make your life easier, wear clothing that provides easy pumping access. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some ideas are button down tops or dresses, tank tops under sweaters, loose tops you can pull up easily, or nursing tops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9: Schedule your pumping sessions into your work calendar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1703\" src=\"https:\/\/hardknockmama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Working-woman-with-baby-scaled.webp\" alt=\"Woman working on laptop while holding baby on her lap looking miserable\" class=\"wp-image-4064\" style=\"width:399px;height:266px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hardknockmama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Working-woman-with-baby-scaled.webp 2560w, https:\/\/hardknockmama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Working-woman-with-baby-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/hardknockmama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Working-woman-with-baby-1024x681.webp 1024w, https:\/\/hardknockmama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Working-woman-with-baby-768x511.webp 768w, https:\/\/hardknockmama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Working-woman-with-baby-1536x1022.webp 1536w, https:\/\/hardknockmama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Working-woman-with-baby-2048x1363.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid frustration (and overfull breasts) if your boss or colleague schedules back-to-back meetings that cut into your pump breaks, be proactive and calendar all of your pumping breaks into your work schedule. This way your colleagues know not to schedule anything else during that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When scheduling time, give yourself enough of a buffer before and after pumping sessions not just to get set up in the room, but also to properly clean your breast pump parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10: Use baby photo or other baby item to encourage letdown <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes the stress of the workday and being away from your baby may prevent your milk flow. To encourage letdown, a widely known hack is to have a baby photo or your baby&#8217;s clothing or blanket with their scent handy while you&#8217;re pumping. You&#8217;ll be surprised at how quickly your body will react!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also use a <a href=\"https:\/\/hardknockmama.com\/momcozy-lactation-massager-review\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2570\">lactation massager<\/a> with a warming function for more efficient pumping sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11: Connect with your breastfeeding colleagues <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As I mentioned in the beginning of the post, my experience pumping at work might have been very different had I not connected with a breastfeeding colleague to show me the ropes. See if you can find other breastfeeding employees who are pumping as well so that you can offer each other support and help make it more commonplace for women in your workplace to pump at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s hard not to stress out over having to leave your baby and keep up your milk supply while at work. But remember that while it&#8217;s challenging, you can successfully pump at work and continue to provide your baby the amazing health benefits breastmilk has to offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you found
