In a nod to a recent blog post\ngone wild, this Modern Boss Mama is saying Goodbye to Pumping everywhere. My\nMedela has been with me through 7 years of providing substanance to three\nlittles, traversed several countries, and outlasted at least one fried plug.\nLittle J had his last drop of breastmilk yesterday to celebrate 7 months. If\nyou have been following along, you will know that this time around I had little\nintention of pumping once I was back at work, and so today I will choose to\ncelebrate the 4 extra months of nutrition this little guy got and also lay out\nall the things I will not miss <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will not miss\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Pumping in bathrooms. SO. GROSS. <\/li>
  2. Pumping in my car on my commute home because.. meetings.<\/li>
  3. Pumping with strangers in a supply closet at a conference ( FOR WOMEN!) <\/li>
  4. Pumping in the airport.. sometimes having to go to a different terminal because not all airports have nursing rooms in all terminals yet<\/li>
  5. Bringing back pumped milk and anxiously trying to figure out if TSA agents are going to question my 15-20 bags of pumped milk that I\u2019m packing. Note: In my 20 or so trips I\u2019ve taken with milk, I have never been questioned about carrying milk and have only ever had my milk tested once.<\/li>
  6. Pumping in other countries (most recently Costa Rica), and having to dump ALL of the milk because they don\u2019t have the same rules for transporting breastmilk when travelling without your baby. I\u2019d probably at least have attempted but my Spanish is rusty at best after years of non-practice.<\/li>
  7. Pumping in the middle of the night, instead of sleeping.<\/li>
  8. Pumping in hotels room, in the middle of the night, instead of sleeping.<\/li>
  9. Transporting my pump. Pump accessories. Cooler. Ice packs. Bottles of milk. Basically a bag lady, every day. My first day without all of this last week was so completely free-ing.<\/li>
  10. WASHING.ALL. OF. THE.ABOVE. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
