Do the moms in your office actually know how to pump?
Sure, they may retreat to your designated pumping space several times a day, but behind closed doors, they are fumbling, frustrated, and hoping to make enough milk in the little bit of time they have. Bonus points if they figure out how to do it without pain.
Like breastfeeding, pumping is a learned skill and lactation services are often limited and lacking. Most lactation specialists - at the hospital bedside and beyond -focus solely on latching and nursing, which leaves moms unequipped when they return to work.
So if it seems like the moms in your office are emerging from the pumping room teary-eyed, distracted and struggling to stay on task, it means you're missing a critical piece of support.
Because providing space and time to pump isn't enough until you ensure your breastfeeding moms have the education they need to pump successfully.
