Pumping at work?

Question

Do any of you BF'ing mommas have any advice for going back to work and pumping? 
Im due to return in a few weeks and im a medical assistant working 1:1 so i'm trying to figure out how I can pump besides lunch. I would be away from baby for about 9.5 hours including travel time... Any tips?

Answer

Your employer is mandated by law to give you time to pump while working, and they need to provide a private area (that is NOT a bathroom!)  to do so.. I went back two weeks ago and take about 3 15-20 min breaks to pump.. Some employers make you take your regular 15 min breaks to pump and your lunch and that's it.. Talk to them, set the expectation of how often you'll need to (I try to stay around 3hours apart) and go from there..

Answer

Here in Australia, your employer is to allow you 30 minutes to express when baby normally would be fed. Eg; every 3 hours.

Answer

I think your employer is like required to let you pump in a private area even if it isn't your lunch
