Keep it straight-forward and simple and don't apologize! Assume they already have a plan for nursing mothers and just state you'll need time and space to pump and ask who to talk to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-bring-this-up-to-an-employer#post-1948176 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 18:39:39 +0000 Little Misters Mom 1948176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think just inquire as though you assume they already have a plan in place. "I'm nursing and need to pump, who should I talk to?" They have probably death with it before. If they don't have a plan in place, or if they seem hesitant to accommodate you, then just make sure you understand their legal obligations (to provide you a private room, with a lock, that is not a bathroom, etc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-bring-this-up-to-an-employer#post-1948156 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 18:23:24 +0000 Mrs.KMM 1948156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agreed with wheres_c! It is my understanding that they have to provide you with that space and time so it shouldn't be a big deal to ask about their setup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-bring-this-up-to-an-employer#post-1948137 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 17:55:48 +0000 wheres_c 1948137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say, I'm currently a nursing mother. What are the facilities here for nursing mothers and who should I contact to make the arrangements?<br /> Keep it simple! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-bring-this-up-to-an-employer#post-1948115 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 17:29:13 +0000 stargal 1948115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm doing an internship through my school with a local agency. I will have to pump between two to three times while I'm working there. How do I bring this up to my superviser? I would probably need a room to pump in and the breaks to be able to pump for about 15 minutes. I'm nervous to bring it up BC I'm new there (start in January)<br /> Also, I go for a meeting (to discuss specific job duties) should I mention it to the lady interviewing me, she won't be my.direct supervised but she will be involved with my evaluations, etc... </p>
