Pumping in Public

I stopped pumping for a very long time but if you ask me if I miss those pumping days, the answer is no. I miss nursing my babies, but not pumping. I prefer to nurse directly if possible. Pumping is a way to provide the best to my babies when I was away. Besides, I was a stubborn head who was so determined not to supplement my babies until they are much older.

But have you ever pump in the eyes of others? I did. I pumped in front of my MIL, my maid, my hubby and also a few times in front of my friends. Gee….it’s really a cow’s act, but what to do? The worst thing is I pumped once in the nursing room where other mothers were bottled feeding their babies. *roll eyes* I was there first then they came in. :P

Let’s just say that the best place to pump, sometimes, it’s the toilet. It’s really enclosed, but the squeeky sound of my Avent ISIS was still attracting some unnecessary curiosity.
