Going back to work while you're still feeding your baby takes so much heart, Mama. You're carrying your pump, your milk, your love, and sometimes a little worry about how it will all work 💜
So hear this from us: in New Jersey, you have the right to pump at work. The law is on your side, at every size of workplace, and it asks your employer to give you the time and a private space (not a bathroom!) that you need. You don't need a doctor's note to ask, and no one is allowed to punish you for it. Swipe through to see what NJ and federal law say, and where to turn if you hear no.
You should never have to choose between your job and your baby's milk. Asking for what you need is not "being difficult." It's being a Mama, and we are so proud of you for it.
And you don't have to figure out the pumping part alone. Kelly Crone, RN, IBCLC, a Certified NICU Nurse for over 30 years, can help you build a back-to-work pumping plan that fits your body, your baby, and your schedule.
Call (856) 956-3663 or email [email protected] to book your back-to-work session with Kelly.
