Thanks to all of you that took the time to post on Lactnet or send me
E-Mail on my jury duty resposibility. Here is what happened: I wrote a
letter (thanks Diane) detailing my need for breaks to pump,
refrigeration,etc. My number was called and I went to the courthouse with my
daughter and husband in tow. When we got there, I sat outside the door on a
bench and nursed my daughter. EVERYONE NOTICED, but most especially the jury
manager. When my number was called, I gave the letter to the bailiff and
explained to the judge that I could not be separated from my daughter and
although I do work outside the home, it is only part-time and I am able to
arrange my schedule so that I can bf at lunch and pump when neccessary. I
told him I had never been away from her for more than 5 hrs. I told him I
would be happy to fulfill my civic duty at a later date, when my child didn't
need me so greatly. HE SAID FINE!!! NO PROBLEM!!! So I am officially
excused. WHEW!!! When I walked out, the jury manager asked me didn't my
daughter have teeth. I told her she has a mouthful and just
smiled.....Thanks again everyone for all of the wonderful advise.... Pam
