The Return-to-Work Pumping Guide™

Going back to work while pumping is one of the hardest things a new mom navigates. There’s the scheduling, the logistics, the legal questions, the stash math, the pump bag, the daycare conversation — and underneath all of it, the feelings.

The Return to Work Pumping Guide™ walks you through all of it, step by step. This isn’t a generic tips article. It’s a complete 19-page workbook you fill in, use, and bring with you on day one.

What’s Inside

•          Know Your Rights — plain-English breakdown of the PUMP Act (2023) and a fill-in employer conversation script

•          Build Your Stash — fill-in calculator so you know exactly how many oz you need before day one

•          Your Work Pump Schedule — sample schedules for 8 and 10-hour workdays, plus a blank template to fill in and share with your manager
