As I wind down with breastfeeding my twins, I’m feeling a bit nostalgic. Here’s an homage to all the places I’ve pumped in the past year. Where’s the craziest place you’ve ever pumped? Leave a comment below!
On I-87 while operating a moving vehicle (Not recommended)
Numerous parking garages, numerous times, with big kids keeping me company
The bathroom of my rock n roll hair salon, which reminds me of the bathrooms at CBGBs (I opted for a “pump and dump” on that one)
In Central Park behind a bush with a hand pump and bebe au lait nursing cover (awkward)
Parking lot of a New Jersey office park, while witnessing an undercover cop shakedown
In the office conference room
In a friend’s NYC apartment, with her pump (my meeting ran late and I couldn’t make it home in time. Thanks Jen!!)
On I-95, on the way to Cape Cod.
In Williamsburg, Brooklyn at least 3 times (little did I know when I met my husband there 14 years ago that I’d someday be pumping in the third row of my mom-mobile on that very street)
And about 1,000 hours in my nursing chair…
…all for the love of these guys.
Thanks to your timesaving suggestion, I’ve been doing a lot of pumping along the Northeast corridor. Mostly in Connecticut, in the car. Also in the kitchen of my parents’ house (countertop outlets and stools!), which makes my dad chuckle and say “I can’t believe I’m seeing this” every time.
