I want to share a personal story with you. Like many of you know, having our first child can be exciting and nerve wrecking. My oldest in the picture below, Jadon, was born with a kidney abnormalty. In utero he had hydronephrosis and his right kidney was in despair. After his birth we had to wait to see how his kidney was functioning. When he finally hit 8 months the doctor had to make a move and perform surgery.

Thankfully everything went well during surgery but for 2 years of his life he had to take medications to fight off infections. I breastfed him for 10 months and breast pumped for him for quite some time after. His immune system has never been 100% but I can tell you I am so grateful I was able to give him breast milk for as long as I did to boost his immune system. A mother’s love knows no boundaries. He is one out of 3 reasons why I am part of MomsPumpHere.

I can’t avoid helping other moms, and I love it. On social media, they ask about motherhood and startup business and I happily answer them. Being a mom of 3 and business owner taught me to build tools that truely solve a need. That’s why I cofound-ed MomsPumpHere community site, mobile site, and built our Nursing Room Locator app. I support working and stay at home moms breastfeeding and breast pumping away from home without shame and embarassment. They shouldn’t be forced to nurse in a car or dirty bathroom to balance work and a healthy infant.

As a mom of three boys, I’ve pumped in many places. At first I only did it occasionally to have time away from the baby – a friend’s wedding or a day trip with my husband. Then I went back to work and needed to build a supply for my son heading to daycare or for Grandma to take care of him when I was away. I pumped in my office at work or at home, usually.

When my second son was born, I tried nursing with pumped milk in a bottle but at ten weeks old, I contracted swine flu and was told to stop nursing him. As a result he refused to nurse again. He was also diagnosed with dairy so I eliminated all dairy from my diet to give him the best milk I could. I was very upset that he would no lon-ger be nursing, and I was concerned about using formula. Thankfully he took my pumped milk in a bottle, so I began to exclusively pump (EP) for him. I was on maternity leave, working full-time and traveling, and eventually trad-ed my stressful management position for a work-at-home consulting job so I could stay home with both boys.

With my third son, I was fortunate to nurse on-demand most of the time but I had customers and projects that needed me, so I went back to work when he was only four weeks old. I pumped extra milk whenever I could, at a client’s facility, when the boys were with caregivers, or even in the middle of the night while everyone slept. I pumped in offices, bathrooms, hotel and department store lounges, train stations, airports – anywhere I need-ed to.

Moms Pump Here was born from these adventures – the situation with my middle son taught me to bring my pump anywhere we went, feed him the best food a mom can make, and know that all is right with the world. Now I get to help other moms do the same.
