You Have the Right to Pump at Work. Here Is What That Actually Means.

You Have the Right to Pump at Work. Here Is What That Actually Means.

Hey Mamas,

Before World Breastfeeding Week arrives, every breastfeeding healthcare professional needs to know this.

Freedom looks different when you are working a holiday shift on the Fourth of July, trying to calculate whether you have time to pump before your next patient. That is the reality we do not talk about enough.

What the PUMP Act Actually Gives You

The PUMP Act of 2022 is federal law. It entitles you to reasonable break time and a private space, not a bathroom, to express milk at work. That applies to most employees including healthcare workers. If your hospital is not providing it, that is not a personal failing. That is a compliance issue. Know the difference. Share it with a coworker.

World Breastfeeding Week Starts August 1st. We Are Getting Ready.

World Breastfeeding Week runs August 1st through 7th and it is the most important week in our brand calendar. But we believe the conversation cannot live in just one week. If breastfeeding healthcare professionals do not have real support the other 51 weeks of the year, awareness alone is not enough.

If you are heading back from maternity leave this fall

You are probably already thinking about how to make this work. The long shifts. The back to back patients. The guilt of asking someone to cover so you can pump. We built Mommy Scrubs for exactly that moment. So you do not have to ask as often. So you can go when you need to and come back faster.

If you are already back and running on empty

You are not weak for finding this hard. You are not less committed to your patients because you need to pump. And you are not alone. Stay close to this space. We have something coming in August that was built specifically for you.

The Scrub Top That Works as Hard as You Do

The patented Mommy Scrubs pump-friendly scrub top features a discreet access panel compatible with every breast pump on the market. It was designed for every clinical setting, every specialty, every breastfeeding healthcare professional who has ever had to choose between her patients and her baby.

Don't Undress to Express. That is not just what we say. It is what we built.

Happy Fourth of July to every healthcare mama working a holiday shift. Your sacrifice is not invisible. We built this for you. 🤍

Stay Pumped,
