The 'pumping project' shares working mama stories and photos
Filed under: Your Pregnancy, Work Life, Playground Bureau, Media
Wow, you guys are all about the breastfeeding and pumping, aren't you? I wrote about an experience pumping
during a coaching clinic in a small-town high school, and was pleased to see that a group of moms has started a flickr pool on pumping at work. It is, all at once, beautiful
and earnest and so quietly activist.
They're calling it The Pumping Project, and you can stop by the web site to lend your comments, or join the pool and add your pictures. I particularly liked this photo of the pumping room at Leapfrog; and this poignant pumping collage (love the pink striped sweater!). I can't wait to bring my camera next time I pump on the road - this issue can use more public support and there's nothing like saying it with pictures.

JustLinda said...I work for a large company and pumped for a year with my youngest. At my home office in St. Louis, I had a private place to pump. But I travel frequently to NYC and it's an open office environment - no private offices, really. There is a lactation room. It is just one big open room where all women go to pump. Gotta admit that it was so uncomfortable to me at first, but you do what you gotta do, right?
I'm glad to have a company that supports this need. I've pumped in several of our offices, including London, NY, St. Louis. I've pumped on planes and in restaurant bathrooms.
It certainly isn't easy being a working mom who is trying to maintain a nursing relationship with baby, but I'm glad I made it as long as I did this last time.
