Hey, mama!
February is known for love, but let’s talk honestly about the kind of love that often gets overlooked:
The love you show when you pump at work, even when it’s exhausting, inconvenient, or emotionally draining.
Here’s my hot take as someone who’s lived it and now builds for moms living it now:
Pumping at work shouldn’t be this hard.
And moms shouldn’t have to bend over backwards to make it work.
But we do.
Every single day.
Healthcare moms especially. Twelve-hour shifts. Limited breaks. Patients waiting. Overflowing charts. And somehow, in the middle of all of that, we’re expected to “fit in” pumping… quietly, politely, without disrupting anything or anyone else.
There’s a disconnect between what moms are legally entitled to and what actually happens in fast-paced clinical environments. And if we don’t talk about it, nothing changes.
This month alongside Black History Month, which honors so many Black mothers who carry the weight of healthcare inequities, I want us to normalize these conversations:
• Pumping isn’t a “favor.”
• Your break isn’t optional.
• Your milk supply matters.
• Your comfort matters.
• Your dignity matters.
Mommy Scrubs was created because moms deserve solutions, not survival mode.
But beyond the product, we’re building community, one honest conversation at a time.
So if you’ve ever pumped in a supply closet, a car, a restroom, or a room full of equipment… I see you.
You’re not alone, and nothing about this struggle is your fault.
Let’s keep talking.
Let’s keep advocating.
Let’s keep supporting each other...loud & proud.
Stay Pumped,
Mommy Scrubs Village
