Somehow I got the hotel confused, or it's at a different hotel than last year. I called the correct hotel and they will find me an empty meeting room for the day :). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-at-a-conference#post-1628528 Mon, 12 May 2014 10:02:45 +0000 walnutems 1628528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go into the locker room..most locker rooms (probably all of them) have stalls with curtains and a bench so you could go in there and have some privacy. Just make sure you have the battery pack to your pump as finding a plug would probably be a challenge! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-at-a-conference#post-1628505 Mon, 12 May 2014 09:58:44 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1628505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot of the nicer hotels I've been to have lounges in the restrooms, similar to what I see at Nordstroms or Saks, so maybe that would be an option? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-at-a-conference#post-1628459 Mon, 12 May 2014 09:42:50 +0000 Foodnerd81 1628459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: I second calling the conference organizers. A lot of conference organizers are young women, so they are well aware of this issue and I bet they have a plan in place. </p> <p>If that doesn't work, I wonder if there is someplace in the Prudential Center mall... I would try calling Magic Beans there and see if their staff know anything about it. Or you could go to a fitting room in Saks or something. Too bad Isis closed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-at-a-conference#post-1628457 Mon, 12 May 2014 09:42:18 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1628457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If its a nice hotel locker room, I wouldn't worry out it too much. And I doubt there is much traffic there. Bring a nursing cover and sit in a corner. Its better than a bathroom, but you could always ask about a "family restroom" that maybe would have a bench. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-at-a-conference#post-1628445 Mon, 12 May 2014 09:38:47 +0000 ShootingStar 1628445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bisous: no I was planning on taking the commuter rail :-/. Plus I think the parking is valet so I wouldn't just be able to pop into my car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-at-a-conference#post-1628438 Mon, 12 May 2014 09:37:50 +0000 cmomma17 1628438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: I'd contact the conference organizers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-at-a-conference#post-1628431 Mon, 12 May 2014 09:35:55 +0000 bisous 1628431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you driving? My solution, while not ideal, would be to pump in the car. At the last conference I attended, I was able to get late check out and pump in my hotel room. That won't work if you are not staying over though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-at-a-conference#post-1628420 Mon, 12 May 2014 09:33:38 +0000 ShootingStar 1628420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a conference to go to in Boston at Copley Plaza later this week and I'm trying to figure out what to do for pumping. When I agreed to go I had no idea if I'd be BF-ing/pumping this long. Luckily it's only one day, but it's a very long day and I will NEED to pump at least once, if not twice. </p> <p>I called the hotel and they said there was a private massage room in the health club I might be able to use, depending on availability. So I called they connected me to the health club and they told I could use the locker room :bummed: . I really don't want to be pumping in a locker room, so now I'm not sure what to do. </p>
