Summer Shift: Balancing Breastfeeding, Work, and Motherhood in the Heat of June

Summer Shift: Balancing Breastfeeding, Work, and Motherhood in the Heat of June

Hey, Moms!

Let’s be real: June hits differently when you’re a mom in scrubs. The days are longer, the heat is stronger, and between juggling work shifts, daycare closures, and pumping schedules, summer can feel more like survival than vacation.

At Mommy Scrubs, we see you. You’re navigating up to 12-hour shifts, breastfeeding goals, and still trying to squeeze in summer memories with your little ones. That’s why we’re sharing a few practical tips to help you breathe easier this season:

💧 Hydration is non-negotiable

Breastfeeding increases your need for fluids. Keep a water bottle nearby during your shifts and aim to sip throughout the day—not just during breaks.

🌡️ Dress for function (and freedom)

Heat + traditional scrubs = sweat and struggle. Our pump-friendly scrubs are designed for quick access without having to fully undress, helping you stay cool and confident when every minute (and degree) counts.

🗓️ Build your pumping plan around summer chaos

If your schedule shifts in June, adjust your pumping plan accordingly. Block your pumping times into your calendar and communicate clearly with your team—advocating for yourself is part of the process.

👩🏽⚕️ You’re not alone

One of the biggest myths of motherhood is that we’re supposed to do it all—and alone. Whether you’re reaching out to HR about accommodations, asking your partner to prep bottles, or leaning on a lactation community online, remember: help is strength, not weakness.

This summer, don’t just sweat it out—choose support, comfort, and scrubs that were made for YOU. At Mommy Scrubs, we’re here to make sure you don’t have to undress to express.
