Now, one need to be concious, no need to give people more reasons not to support breastfeeding moms, I stored my milky on the office fridge, what other option did I have? but on a very nice cooler, noone knew, other than close friend co-workers, what was in there. I bet most assume it was my lunch.

What did happen is that co-workers would see me walking with my "lunch box" every 2-3 hours and that was 'weird' Some asked, I just smiled and didn't answer.

The most difficult part was to wash bottles and other containers...again, some would ask, what is that? I would just smile and say nothing.

I did this for 6 months until my little guy was 8 months old. The pressuresof work plus other health problems lead me to stop.

Breastfeeding, yes, that is the correct word, is a beautiful thing. We, "lactating moms" need to be mindful of how such a natural thing makes people think about puking. Well, birthing does the same to most people as well, so I should not be surprised.

If she left the milky uncovered, that is not safe for the milk, and there is no need to leave it visible. Walmart sells very frugal lunch boxes.

As many other moms I can tell you that my son NEVER got sick, not even a cold during the 8 months I breastfed him. It is a marvelous thing.

Lost of blessing.

I guess I knew this answer but it struck me as strange since I haven't worked in a office setting in a very long time and don't remember breast milk in the fridge then, despite many females with young children.
