My experience breastfeeding while working 👎

Also I saw a post saying something about why black women don't want to breastfeed.

And I must say . ill just tell my part . when my daughter was about 3 months old I went back to work . I worked for Wal Mart as a cashier . I'm not sure if you all know but as a cashier you are very busy and always on your feet specially weekends and days like that . my schedule for pumping was I would pump on my lunch and when I got home and before I left for work . it was such a hassle for me ...at work because heres why .... Everyyyy! Day I worked when my lunch came I would have to look for the manager witht the key to open this room for me to pump my milk and !try and eat my lunch . it had a sign that I would put to the window when I would pump . I was walked in on 5! Times with my boob out twice by one manager guy and three by to women managers . despite the sign on the door and the fact the door was locked . . I would rush to eat my food and pump at the same time . some days I wouldnt even eat . and some days it would take me atleast 15 minutes to find a manager to open the "pumping room" and before some of the managers got familiar with why I was asking them to "open the room door" if they were in front of someone they would ask " what do you need out of there "? This and that and I would say I need to pump breast milk ! Like ! Damn then they would say "ohhh sorry" I'm like damn you have the key or no . some days I would pump in the nasty bathroom and it mad me so damn mad ! As you can see in the pic I'm in the bathroom . eventually my milk supply started to dry up and in the beginning , I spoke to my boss at the time about some time off because my milk stash and milk supply was low. I got the run around and this and that . before I left was mart I needed time off I gor the run around ! (While nother story) and they mentioned baby bonding time I believe it was called ... Well your baby had to be under a year .. Just my luck my daughter had just turned a year ... But back to the problem . when I needed that time it was never offered . I fought so hard to keep my baby strickly on breast milk and she wild not take formula! Luckly a bottle . and I breastfed all 3 of my other kida no bottle at all so this was stressful for me . id litterly be at work stressed thinking about how many bags of milk I counted before I left . or my kids dad texting me telling me hurry to come home ahes almost out of milk ( like every other day). Wal mart didnt give a damn !.when I I say that there was programs and time off that I could of took off to be with my baby . they never ! Offered that ! and when I stopped working there they didnt give a damn either . buttt my point in this topic as a black woman , I felt my kids deserved to be breastfed . its something ive always wanted to do and I did it !. even while working . so I doubt color has anything to do with it .

The pics you see is the sign that was posted on the door of the room I would use to pump my breast milk .and my milk stash on a good day . it would mostly be from time over the weekend and my 2 off days . I would be sooo happy !
