So ideally I would be pumping for another 4 months if we can make it to 1 year. </p> <p>@birdofafeather: That would be kind of stressful to have to take a break from all the photo ops at a wedding to pump! That's great that you're able to tune it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changing-jobs-while-pumping#post-1153636 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 17:23:00 +0000 birdofafeather 1153636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no advice as i haven't done this, but i do pump during weddings (i'm a photographer) and it's always a crapshoot as to where and when i can do it! i try to tune out for the 20 minutes it takes as i know stressing whether or not i'm missing something is useless (i always have a second shooter there to cover!) and will only lower my output.</p> <p>how old is your LO? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changing-jobs-while-pumping#post-1153633 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 17:20:46 +0000 dojo 1153633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't know if I should put this in work or pumping... </p> <p>I will be starting a new job with an affiliated but different company in about a week and a half and I realized I have yet to bring up the fact that I need to use the mothers room to pump twice a day. I feel like it's a little awkward but I figured I would just email the manager to inquire how the break structure works and that I would need to take the two half hour breaks at such and such approximate times. </p> <p>I don't anticipate it being a big issue and I am already familiar with the room set up though I will need to contact HR and our security department to get access since it will be in a different building. I guess my worst fear is that it will be more difficult to get away to pump or that my supply will suffer with the stress of learning a new job.</p> <p>Anyone else change jobs in the midst of breastfeeding/pumping? Did you have any issues? </p>
