Dear Lactnetters, Just wanted to add my experience to the discussion of pumping in public. Both as a medical student and a pediatric intern, I had supervising residents who happened to be women pumping milk for their babies. These were busy rotations in which we all were working 80+ frantic hours per week. We would do our work rounds in the pumping room, and I got used to taking orders from someone with both breasts exposed, double pumping. I didn't have children back then, so I know these women were a positive influence in my life, counteracting the pro-abm training I was getting elsewhere in the program. - Susan Kent M.D.
