This is Part 2 of my discussion with Liat who pumped while traveling to developing countries and conflict zones. In this part, we focus a bit more on the challenges women face when re-integrating into the workforce after having a baby. We talk about how HR departments and leaders of organizations as well as our male coworkers and peers can become advocates for helping mothers reacclimate. Remember, these women are your wives, sisters, daughters, mothers, friends, or other people you care about. I firmly believe that organizations are successful when men and women are equally represented and in all levels of the organization as they provide different strengths and opinions. We cannot just leave women behind by default, because they are by nature the child bearers and natural care takers. They bear the brunt of ensuring a future for our communities and it should not come at the cost of their own passions, dreams, careers or in some cases, the basic need to make a living and provide for their families. Listen to this episode to become an advocate or simply find out how you as a mother can approach your leaders and HR departments.

As if pumping and traveling was not already challenging enough, it becomes even more challenging when access to reliable electricity or clean water adds another obstacle. In this episode we talk to Liat who traveled to Developing Countries and Conflict Zones while having to pump for her son. This takes the Busy Mom Pumping to a whole other level as she speaks about her challenges of keeping the milk cold on a 10-hour flight, the difficult decision to pump and dump and ultimately how she donated milk to local hospitals. This is the first part of our interview as we focus our second part on the reintegration into the work force after having a baby.

Being a mom is hard. I think we have all established that. But what if your partner is gone for months at a time? This is what military families are faced with and today I am talking to my friend Anna about what motherhood looks like as a military family. We talk all about the support system that exists and where it lacks. How hard it is to keep a career and how to manage moving around, constantly. Add the formula shortage disaster and you have one episode filled with lots of hard hitting thruths and honest mom struggles.

Have you experienced any of these at any point post-partum: intensive worrying, being overwhelmed, constant thoughts of things happening to your baby, depression, ideation of suicidal thought? All these things can be post-partum depression and today I am here talking to Amy who works with moms on their post-partum feelings. She helps moms get back into their busy lives while handling the stress of motherhood.
“You don’t just get to lead your professional life you get to lead your family. You are the CEO of your family. How do we get to maximize our day without burnout?”

First, I want to acknowledge that the “bounce back” culture is real. Moms are often expected to get back into pre-pregnancy weight before our kids are even 3 months old. I found it very difficult to work out my first year between the new baby, work and all the pumping – also – the decrease in milk supply.
This episode is not about “bouncing back” but about a mom who does what she loves without letting breastfeeding get in the way of that. If you are ready to get back into working out and want to get some inspiration, you should listen to this episode. Monica talks about how she ran the Austin and New York Marathon while pregnant and pumping. She goes through her flexible training schedule as well as how she mastered the challenge of a drop in her milk supply.
In this episode we also touch on tongue ties and VBAC – a vaginal birth after cesarean and how she was able to have her second child vaginally when she did have a cesarean with her first… it is possible!
I know Monica did not have a bra recommendation, but I would like to take this opportunity to once again suggest the Ollie Gray bra here!

Are you ready for your return to work? How was that first day? How do you prepare for it? How do you start your day? Did you have anyone helping you? What do I need to do to be ready to pump at work? All of this and more is what I talk about in this episode with my friend Andy. The return to work is not easy. Think about it; for most of us, we just had our body go through an extreme event aka birth. We are sleep deprived. We are out of practice and lack conditioning in the ability to be mentally on for an 8-hour day – let alone, look presentable and awake during that time. So I asked my friend Andy if she would do a simple episode with me while we are in the thick of it. We recorded this on a Wednesday evening, week 3 back at work, and you can tell how tired we are. If I am being 100% honest, I did have to edit out a lot of “uhms” and breaks as our brains were literally on “loading” mode – even with supportive husbands and the lucky ability to hire a nanny. I don’t know how some other families do it without all that support.
I hope you enjoy this episode and I hope it helps you feel less alone during your first day back at work when you feel like you just became more stupid and worry if you can handle being a busy mom – you can! It does get better!
The Pumps: Get help getting your pump through insurance with Aeroflow Breastpumps
Spectra S2 – My favorite. It gets the most out. To make it portable, get a battery pack.
Willow Pump – amazing for on the go pump and traveling. But it does not get as much out. Would not use as main pump
Pump In Style® with MaxFlow™ Breast Pump – I have no preference between this one and the Pump in Style. It is good but not better than the spectra. This is also the pump Andy has now and she said she liked it better.
Pump in Style Insurance Breast Pump – Square format made it fit well into pump bag or luggage when traveling. No preference between this one and the Pump in Style with MaxFlow – This is the one Andy said hurt her more when she first pumped for her daughter Laura.
Duo Double Electric Breast Pump – this one is a cheap portable option. I got this solely for that reason so I could review a cheaper portable pump. It Is not as powerful as the spectra but comparable to the Pump in Style. So this is a great option for the on the go pumps.

Are you new here and wondering what this podcast is about? Want to know what inspired me to make this podcast? Then this is a great quick listen and introduction. Show Notes and Transcript: Welcome to the Busy Mom Pumping Podcast. My name is Lene and Let me start off by saying that if you are squeamish about anything including boobs, this podcast is not for you, because we will be talking a lot about them.
Before I start, let me ask you some questions: Are you a mom or about to be a mom, that has the wish to continue breastfeeding after the maternity leave is over but you don’t just quite know how because your google search only gave you a blanket approaches, that would be hard to tailor to your day to day?
Have you communicated to your boss yet that you will need to pump when you return to work? Oh he is male, this might be a bit awkward? Is the only available room a storage closet and your pumping breaks will be frequented by the school genitor who will fall over in shame when he finds you attached to that farming equipment, I mean pumps.
Oh you are saying that you already pumped with your first baby, and the spilled milk at TSA, the embarrassing encounters with the janitor who was not the janitor but a colleague sleeping in the pump room has left you to just forget about it.
Are you just hear to have a good laugh, to hear from your peers and get some inspiration. If you are saying a, b, c or all of the above then this is Podcast is for you!
As I have said, my name is Lene – and I was a Busy Mom Pumping with my daughter Lotti,
Who, at the beginning of my journey, was more like a soulless gremlin from another galaxy.
I did this craziness for a year and, yay me, I am about to get to do it all over again.
For me, my pumping journey was one that was very lonely
(cause really, …… who wants to have an audience)
It was a journey filled with a bunch of questions….., challenges and amazingly,…. a community of friends helping me along the way.
Now, Let me quickly back up here;
I grew up in the southern parts of Germany in a very rural area and our school fields trips included visits to local farms
There we learned all about how chickens laid eggs and milk was … lets say.. “harvested”.
(no there was no sweet famers wife gently massaging milk out of a cows udder)
… You know where I am going with this…
Let’s just say….. the first time I attached those pumps…… I was immediately catapulted back to those field trips – sharing a deep compassion and companionship with these peacefully mooing, ….. grass chewing mama cows. And still no gentle massaging hands in sight.
But Companionship.
That is what I was really missing.
And it was quite depressing that the only… beings I felt connected to in that moment were a bunch of mammals chewing away on their grass stems in some stall back in Germany.
So when someone suggested I join a Moms group for a hefty $350 for 6 weeks I was more than happy to hand over my wallet and join these wonderful strangers.
You know…. discuss things like broken vaginas, hurting c-sections, cracked nipples, or anything that would have been depicted in the Frida Mom’s Super bowl commercial that was rejected from the big line up. And you know what, the talking helped!
But when it came to the return to work and how to fit pumping into our busy lives, we were still a bit helpless. The internet did not give us much either because a lot of the suggestions were blanket approaches and did not address the vast variety of schedules/challenges that different professions bring with them.
This lack of information is what led me to start this podcast. I wanted to find different Moms in different versions of Busy sharing their stories, challenges and words of wisdom. And I hope that they become an inspiration to you. That their stories give you some comfort either while you are planning your return to your busy life or actively in it, pumping in some tucked away location.
Also, this is a judgement free zone:
This podcast is not here to say that breastfeeding is the best and only way to feed your child. That literally is everyone’s own prerogative. As a mom, your only job is to feed your baby, if that is breastmilk, formula or you skip straight to that hot coco with marshmallows, that is your choice.
Through my talks with different moms, I have learned that the choice to breastfeed is not that simple, there are so many different factors that play into this journey and often the biggest challenge is the return to work. I therefore want to acknowledge that we will not have all the answers, but I hope that we at least have some.
Lastly, my disclaimer:
As the title says, this podcast is produced by Busy Moms, and editing a podcast takes a lot of time (geez who would have thought) So while we try our best that the content is valuable, I cannot promise that the quality is on a 5 Star Winning level (I am not looking to win the Oscar of Podcast)
With that I also want to point out that my own personal schedule would not allow for me to post a new episode each week. I therefore decided to treat this like a Netflix Show where I will record 5 – 7 interviews at a time and post them all at once. This allows for more flexibility in my and my guests’ schedule. Hey, a tip for you too. Did you know you can listen to your pod cast spead up? I know you are also busy and if you want to cut down on the length o the episode, feel free to spead us up 😊
As a reference for you to follow up on each episode, please check out my show notes at busymompumping.com
So I hope you laugh with us and cry with us. That you find your own way through this journey with our tips and tricks and that you do not loose your beautiful self in this pumping journey that often seemed to me like my sole purpose was to produce milk so my child could thrive and survive.
I will therefore leave you with a fun fact an that is that, cows pump around 8 gallons of milk a day, this comparison is just simply not fair to us and hence, not even worth to be entertained.
