No Joke—Pumping at Work Shouldn’t Be This Hard: Real Talk for Nursing Moms in Healthcare

Hey, Moms!

Let’s be real: pumping at work as a healthcare professional is no joke.

You're running between patients, charting on the go, trying to hydrate, and somewhere in there… you’re supposed to find a private space, undress, pump, and redress—all while staying calm, collected, and on schedule. Oh, and don’t forget to label your milk and clean your parts.

April 1st may be all about pranks and laughs, but here’s one thing we’re not kidding about: nursing moms in healthcare deserve better.

💡 Why Is Pumping at Work So Hard?

Whether you’re a nurse, therapist, tech, or provider, you already face intense demands in your role. Add being a breastfeeding mom to the mix, and it’s next-level.

Here are just a few things our community of moms has shared:

  • “I was pumping in the supply closet between rounds.”
  • “I avoided pumping because I couldn’t get my scrubs back on fast enough.”
  • “I ended up supplementing because it was just too hard at work.”

This isn’t just inconvenient—it’s exhausting, stressful, and unsustainable. And it shouldn't be.

👩🏾‍⚕️You Deserve a Better Option

That’s why we designed the Pump-Friendly Scrub Top by Mommy Scrubs—a scrub top designed specifically for breastfeeding moms in healthcare. With discreet access for hands-free pumping, you stay dressed, professional, and comfortable—no awkward undressing, no skipped sessions.

Because you shouldn't have to choose between your job and your breastfeeding journey.
