Working moms and pumping while at work
I am starting a new job on Monday. I am calling them tomorrow to ask the HR manager a couple of things and want to discuss with her about pumping while at work. I will be pumping during lunch at my parents house. But I want to pump while at work so my supply will not decrease. By law, do they have to allow me to pump if I ask or is this a courtesy that companies provide to moms? I would love to pump twice while at work but would that be too much to ask especially since I just started the job?

Re: Working moms and pumping while at work
By law they have to let you and it is not too much to ask for. I pump three times at work. Right when I get in since I commute, then at lunch and at 4 pm. Hr and everyone in my office has been great about it and only one other person has a kid. You will be suprised at how understanding people are! It's hard enough to be away from the baby all day.

This is great. Thanks. I was worried that they wouldn't allow me to. I'll call them today to discuss.

Re: Working moms and pumping while at work
NY law states they have to let you pump (it differs by state) but it may be unpaid time.
I pump 2x a day about 15 minutes each time so i usually only take a half an hour now for lunch instead of an hour.
