While pumping at work, do you have coworkers complaining that you're in the break room pumping?

Question

pumping at work, do you have coworkers complaining that you're in the break room pumping?" /> 
I don't pump in the break room during lunch time (12-3), but there's always someone outside the door whining or complaining that I'm in the room. Multiple times, I've stopped in the middle of pumping to let them get what they need, but it's just annoying to me.

Answer

Pretty sure employers have to provide you with a place to pump. Not sure if a break room counts? 
But either way ignore inconsiderate people who are seriously complaining about you pumping food for your baby!!

Answer

I had to pump in the owner's office (of a daycare) when I first went back around 10 weeks pp. one day, she knocked and said she just needed to grab something. wanting to maintain a degree of privacy, I replied something like "just a second" before I even got the words out, she was opening the door 😲 I hope you can at least lock the door! I was pumping in her office at the same time every single day for over 2 weeks at that point. like, get everything you need for the next 30 minutes bc I'm busy making milk in here!) I've seen online some women have made a cute sign that makes it feel less whatever for coworkers. here's a couple examples:

hang in there mama! you're doing great! 👍

Answer

That would be annoying to have to use the break room.
I would just tell them you’ll be out in 20 minuets or whatever and they can come back then. If you stop to let them in you’ll just encourage them to do it more. 
Maybe post a sign on the door that says the break room will be unavailable between {times} and {times} every day. That way people know the schedule and can plan accordingly.

Answer

My employer provided me with an empty office last time that had a lock on the door. But even then people were complaining that I got to walk away and pump every 3 hours and still get my breaks. Like they think pumping was something I actually wanted to do?! Anyway it got so annoying I just gave up pumping at work. This time I am not going to let them get to me.
