Working moms are like superheroes. They have multiple
responsibilities on their shoulders and if they fail in fulfilling in any one
of them, everything starts to crumble.
If you’re one of them (or if you’re planning on becoming
one) then this article is for you.
Because even if you buy
a high-quality breast pump through insurance, you will have to stay prepared
for any pumping disasters, especially at work. A simple disaster can make
everything embarrassing.
Don’t worry, though, because this article will help you find
the answers you’re looking for and get you prepared to avoid any and all kinds
of breast pumping mistakes at work:
Have Spare Parts
Carrying an extra set of the different parts of your breast
pump can save you a lot of time and effort. Why?
Because there would be at least one day, where you would
forget to bring one particular piece for your pump. And in the absence of any
one piece, you’ll have to go out and buy a whole new breast pump for yourself.
Finding extra parts is a little difficult but you shouldn’t
rely on the chances that your office has a store nearby which has everything.
No mom can risk missing a feeding session of her newborn and when you’re at
work, you should be ready for all kinds of situation to avoid such accidents.
Use a Blanket While Pumping
Spills occur. And when they do, anything can get messy.
If a small drop spills on your suit, it will ruin the looks.
You wouldn’t want that to happen when you have a big meeting coming up, would
you?
Some spill always occurs. Sometimes it happens by mistake.
And sometimes it happens when you are removing the pump.
In any case, putting a baby blanket over your lap when
you’re pumping will help you avoid this problem. You’d be able to pump without
any worries regarding the spill.
Have a Unique Habit for Locking the Door
Many moms forget to lock the door when they’re going to use
the breast pump. And when a co-worker walks in, it gets really embarrassing for
both of them.
To avoid that, you should make a unique habit of doing
something peculiar before you start pumping. It could be playing some soothing
music or taking off your shoes.
The point is, when you’ll develop that habit, it will remind
you to close the door before you begin as you won’t start pumping right away
when you enter.
This little tactic can do wonders for your memory. Because
when you won’t do that particular thing before starting, your mind will begin
to, “I think I’m forgetting something” and you will not miss locking the door.
Conclusion
We know these tips are quite simple but they are important.
You can now stop spills from happening, save your energy if you forget a component
of your pump and avoid any embarrassment.
How has been your experience pumping at work? We would love
to find out.
