Hey, moms!
Being a breastfeeding mom in healthcare is no easy feat. Between caring for patients, managing long shifts, and finding time to pump, the struggle to balance work and motherhood is real. At Mommy Scrubs, we see you and want to support you. Here are five practical tips to make the journey a little easier:
1. Create a Pumping Plan
Talk to your supervisor about scheduling pumping breaks. Block out time on your calendar to ensure you get those precious moments to maintain your supply. Remember, it’s your right to pump at work!
2. Find a Pump-Friendly Space
Scout out private, clean, and quiet spaces in your workplace where you can pump comfortably. If you can’t find one, don’t hesitate to advocate for better accommodations—your needs matter!
3. Invest in Functional Scrubs
Wearing scrubs that aren’t designed for breastfeeding can make pumping at work a hassle. Opt for pump-friendly scrubs like Mommy Scrubs, designed with discreet access and antimicrobial, odor-resistant materials to keep you comfortable and confident.
4. Stay Hydrated and Nourished
As a busy healthcare professional, it’s easy to forget to take care of yourself. Keep a water bottle nearby and pack snacks rich in lactation-friendly nutrients like oats and almonds to fuel your body and milk supply.
5. Build a Support Network
Connect with other breastfeeding moms in your workplace or online. Sharing tips, experiences, and encouragement can make a world of difference. You’re not alone in this journey!
At Mommy Scrubs, we’re here to help you feel supported, confident, and capable as you balance your dual roles as a caregiver and a mom. Our mission is to make your life a little easier, one scrub at a time.
