Plan before day one
Talk to your workplace about a private space and realistic break windows. Pack a simple kit: pump, spare flanges, storage bags or bottles, and a charger.
Protect supply during transition
Try to keep a similar pumping cadence to what your baby needs. Missing sessions for a few days can make supply feel unpredictable — consistency helps more than perfection.
Discreet pumping at work
A quiet wearable pump can make office pumping less stressful. Practise your routine at home first so the first work week feels familiar.
