Ask location if they have a private room you could use for 20 minute to pump. Typically if they have something the question will catch them off guard and they will offer it up.<br /> 2. Find a quiet location (dressing room, etc)<br /> 3. Pump in the car<br /> 4. Nice bathroom with a sitting area. Many malls have a little chair I have sat in. Yes, women walking in/out will see you but they get over it.<br /> 5. Bathroom stall pumping (yuck, typically only do this if there is a large handicap stall available).<br /> 6. Standing up in the bathroom. Again, you get odd looks but I don't really like sitting on a toilet and pumping. I would rather deal with odd looks from strangers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exclusive-pumpers-how-to-handle-a-day-out#post-344898 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 14:23:52 +0000 Mrs. Bee 344898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only time I've taken my pump with me was to a wedding. We don't have a car so pumping in public is not an option. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exclusive-pumpers-how-to-handle-a-day-out#post-344889 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 14:20:35 +0000 autumnlove 344889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pumped in my car with my double electric with a hooter hider over the flanges! Or pumped with my manual pump in a bathroom... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exclusive-pumpers-how-to-handle-a-day-out#post-344880 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 14:17:31 +0000 mrs. wagon 344880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For you exclusive pumpers out there, what do you do if you know you're gonna be out and about all day? Do you bring your pump and pump in the car? </p> <p>So far my solution has been to nurse while out, but considering nursing without the comfort of the Boppy, my couch, and the TV is my most hated part of nursing, this doesn't really solve my problem! </p>
