...did you ever do it? Want to do it but couldn't?
I started back at work this week and am really pleased at my situation. In my position I am fortunate enough that I can take my own breaks whenever I want, so timing isn't an issue. I have been using this old bathroom I didn't even know existed until this week, and I've worked there 5 years. I know some people might say eww, why do you have to use a bathroom but honestly, it's clean, I have a sink to rinse stuff off in, there's a chair in there, and it's incredibly private.
I've been trying to get the baby on this schedule - nurse him between 6am and 7am, drop him off at 7:30am, I pump around 11am, I go home and nurse him again at 12:15pm, I pump again at 3:30pm, and nurse him when I pick him up at 5:15pm. I think it's a good routine, but the baby isn't used to it yet - Tuesday he didn't want to nurse in the AM so he was starving, and one day he slept through his lunchtime nursing and even when I woke him he didn't want to eat.
I've gotten the how to work the pump routine down pretty well, and I'm using an ice pack in a cooler for storage so I don't have to explain what I'm putting the company fridge, LOL.
I know that most people don't have it as easy as I do - what are your experiences with it??
