I text my boss before I came back from leave, I think it's much less awkward to text/email :happy: but as already posted above, it is your right to be able to have adequate breaks and space to pump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-ask-new-job-about-pumping-policy#post-964384 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 17:36:02 +0000 sarahbee 964384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you wont have your own office, I would email or call before you start so they can set up a pumping space for you. FYI, in case you weren't aware, the Affordable Care Act covers pumping (for nursing moms until the child turns 1). Your state law may provide additional coverage too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-ask-new-job-about-pumping-policy#post-964372 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 17:33:26 +0000 Dancemom 964372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bump? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-ask-new-job-about-pumping-policy#post-964312 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 17:12:53 +0000 Dancemom 964312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I accepted a job offer today for a better job. My dd is 8.5 months and I really want to continue pumping at work &amp; breastfeeding at home at least until she's 1. When would you ask the new job about pumping? I start on August 12, but I have all of my direct supervisors contact info. My boss now does not care when I pump or how long. I sometimes pump 5-6 times a day just because she's so lax. I would like to pump at least 3 times at the new job..once in the morning, once on lunch, and once in the afternoon.</p> <p>So, when would you ask and what would you say?</p> <p>thanks in advance! </p>
