Thank you! </p> <p>I pumped only once yesterday, but have decided to use this as my chance to transition to pumping once a day, instead of twice. There's one more week until spring break and Liam turns one at the end of the month, so when I come back, I plan to start weaning off the pump and transition him to cow's milk during the day. I'll keep nursing 2-3 times a day, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommy-brain-strikes-again-1#post-641370 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 17:57:50 +0000 ChelseaRose 641370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope it worked out ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommy-brain-strikes-again-1#post-637103 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 13:58:16 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 637103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She just replied and was so nice about it. She is going to try to find me a room and if not, she's going to check the closest bathrooms for outlets. I felt silly asking her (she prob thinks I'm crazy). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommy-brain-strikes-again-1#post-637094 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 13:56:19 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 637094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do not have a manual pump. I just emailed the woman in charge to ask if she has a place I can use. I will pack batteries tonight just in case! So mad at myself for not remembering this!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommy-brain-strikes-again-1#post-637069 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 13:47:48 +0000 MaisyMay 637069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no! Worse case scenario, could you pump on the bus with a cover while the students are at the theater? If you ask the organizing company, they may have an option for you too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommy-brain-strikes-again-1#post-637058 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 13:41:58 +0000 MsLipGloss 637058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not quite like that, but I had an off-site deposition that lasted waaaaay longer than it was supposed to, with only a couple of short breaks. In the end, I found myself in the bathroom pumping for 5-7 minutes, while the people who worked in the building kept questioning what *that noise* was and asking me if I was okay . . . right, because that is helpful for production! *augh* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommy-brain-strikes-again-1#post-637047 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 13:39:11 +0000 CarrieLouWho 637047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have a manual pump you can bring? If not, then a battery pack for your regular pump? You can go in the bathroom or check to see if they have a spare room you can use to pump?</p> <p>I went to an all day expo not too long ago and I just pumped in the bathroom with a manual pump. I'm so used to my electric though it felt like it took forever, but it was ok in a pinch!</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommy-brain-strikes-again-1#post-636959 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 13:18:40 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 636959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cannot believe I didn't think about this sooner...</p> <p>I am taking my students on a field trip tomorrow to see a play at a local university and I completely forgot that I'll have to somehow pump twice while we're there. I am the only regular teacher going, but luckily there is a special ed teacher and assistant coming, too so hopefully they can handle the kids while I sneak away to pump. I'm not even thinking about where I'll pump.... I won't even have my car! Oh jeez, what a mess.</p> <p>Have you ever had to deal with anything like this? </p>
