I love seeing where everyone has to pump. I also pump in a storage room off my library. It's not exactly "private" since everyone has a key, but oh well. Oh, and the wall behind me is basically all windows which is a little scary when you work with middle schoolers who will totally try to peer through the little holes in blinds if they are "curious". </p> [attach=2976/14/mz3liv.450x600.photo--3-.JPG] [attach=2976/14/mz3liw.450x600.image--5-.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-i-pump-at-work#post-1328550 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 14:29:32 +0000 Lozza 1328550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pump in my office, just close the door. Not an issue. I feel really lucky to have my own office! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-i-pump-at-work#post-1328501 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 14:12:11 +0000 Alivoo01 1328501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's an old corner office with 4 large floor to ceiling windows so it gets really really cold in the winter and really really warm in the summer. </p> <p>We're moving offices in the next few months, and rumors are we're getting a "wellness" room which is supposed to be really, really nice. I just hope I don't have to compete for time to use the room to pump with someone who just wants to relax and take a 30 minute nap. Scheduling time to pump with other pumping moms in our single office can be difficult enough already sometimes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-i-pump-at-work#post-1328471 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 14:03:29 +0000 catomd00 1328471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a pumping mama yet but I am already jealous of all the ladies who have designated areas at work. There is literally NO WHERE in my current office where I could pump and would probably just go to my car. Lucky for me, we are moving offices by the time my maternity leave is over and we will have private bathrooms (that's my backup) but also will have 3 extra conference rooms, which will be awesome to be able to use! Our move could not come at a better time. I really want to BF and was getting really nervous about how/where I would do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-i-pump-at-work#post-1328462 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 14:01:21 +0000 sotofamilia 1328462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pump in a spare office that they labeled "mother's room". Nothing special, but I'm really grateful to have the private space and freedom to pump for as long as I need! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-i-pump-at-work#post-1328447 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:57:27 +0000 avivoca 1328447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pump in a storage closet. It's not much, but it's so much better than the bathroom I'd have to use if my coworker hadn't cleared it out for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-i-pump-at-work#post-1328360 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:27:22 +0000 Adira 1328360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: I was actually thinking of that the other day! It's so bare in there, I was thinking all of us moms should put up pictures of our babies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-i-pump-at-work#post-1328349 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:25:20 +0000 jetsa 1328349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pump in my office. We never close doors here so I just close the door and I haven't had any issues. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-i-pump-at-work#post-1328343 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:22:59 +0000 MrsH 1328343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll pump in my office - I'm planning to hang a sign with a cow on it on my door so people will leave me alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-i-pump-at-work#post-1328334 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:18:53 +0000 travellingbee 1328334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Y'all need to tack up pictures of babies to help your supply ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-i-pump-at-work#post-1328326 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:15:45 +0000 Adira 1328326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: haha, yes, I know I'm lucky to have it! It's just so WHITE and bare in there, haha. Our old room had carpet. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-i-pump-at-work#post-1328323 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:14:23 +0000 travellingbee 1328323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: Wow- that is awesome! Does it look similar to @cascademom's room?<br /> @Adira: A fridge and a sink is super nice!<br /> @Ms.SK: Oh yeah I don't care who knows. As long as I can lock the door. :) Bummer that they have the rooms but they are too busy. They need more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-i-pump-at-work#post-1328321 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:13:34 +0000 mrsjyw 1328321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have two mother's rooms (blacked out small conference rooms) and a first aid room with lock. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-i-pump-at-work#post-1328319 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:13:13 +0000 danda 1328319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is a designated office with a door that locks...but it can be a challenge to negotiate scheduling with the other moms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-i-pump-at-work#post-1328317 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:12:45 +0000 JoJoGirl 1328317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have mother's rooms which are pretty nice, but I have my own office so I pump in there :) Nice to be able to work while pumping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-i-pump-at-work#post-1328315 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:12:22 +0000 travellingbee 1328315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: Wow that is nice! It looks so clean and cozy! :) Mine is a pain to get to as well because I have to go outside to get to it. In the cold, that is a pain. I have to give myself a pep talk to go do it. LOL I only have a couple of months left, and it could be worse I suppose. But it certainly could be better!<br /> @singingbee: Nice. I teach too but I share a room so I can't pump in my room. When the other teacher is out, it is heavenly to pump at my desk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-i-pump-at-work#post-1328312 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:11:13 +0000 Adira 1328312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two Mother's Rooms at my work. They're like doctor's offices, haha. Laminate white floors, white walls, white mini fridge, a small table, and a white sink! But it's private and has a comfy red chair, so I guess that's all that matters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-i-pump-at-work#post-1328295 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:08:36 +0000 cascademom 1328295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is what the lactation rooms look like where I work. They've closed floors in our other building, so this one is the main one. When it's prime time, I've seen mothers pump with an outlet nearby. The rooms have a Medela Lactina pump where you buy the parts for it. I liked that aspect of it. Otherwise, it's a pain to get to since it's not on the same bank as my floor. </p> [attach=1889/14/mz3h2e.600x450.2012-11-15-11.59.17.jpg] [attach=1889/14/mz3h2g.449x600.2012-11-15-11.59.30.jpg] [attach=1889/14/mz3h2j.600x450.2012-11-15-11.59.41.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-i-pump-at-work#post-1328293 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:07:59 +0000 singingbee 1328293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in one of the staff rooms or if my kids are at their Breaktime, I pump in my classroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-i-pump-at-work#post-1328287 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:06:57 +0000 littlebug 1328287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use the lactation lounge in the Intensive Care Nursery. It's so nice that they let the hospital employees use it. They even let us use the hospital-grade pumps! Definitely very lucky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-i-pump-at-work#post-1328273 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:03:51 +0000 Ms.SK 1328273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 2 lactation rooms but they are always overscheduled and I felt so much stress going to them. I opted to use the storage clost by my desk. I called it the barn and everyone knew what was going on in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-i-pump-at-work#post-1328261 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:01:58 +0000 travellingbee 1328261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in a storage "room". Where are you pumping? </p> [attach=3175/14/mz3grb.450x600.image.jpg]
