- Talk to your employer and look for a private place. If there’s not one, look around for a space that you are willing to use. The space can also be used for other things, but it should not be a bathroom and should be available anytime that you need to use it.
- Tips for using an office file room or storage closet: If the door doesn’t lock, hang a sign outside your door when you are pumping or ask to have a lock installed.
- Tips for using a cubicle: Use a shower curtain rod, a wooden dowel, or spring clamps from a hardware store to hang a large curtain outside your cubicle when you need to pump.
- Tips for creating a space: Room dividers or partitions can be used to make a quick pump room. You can even use a pop-up utility or shower tent if there are no other choices.
Still can’t find a space? Don’t worry. There is a solution for just about any setting. More ideas for you and your employer are available from the Texas Mother-Friendly Worksite initiative.
