Question about pumping at work.

I'm about to start orientation this week for my new job in mother/baby. I have a 3 month old who I'm exclusively breastfeeding. My question is how will my need to take a break to pump during my 12 hr shift be perceived? I know that sounds weird since I'll be working on a unit that promotes breastfeeding but I was wondering if I should anticipate receiving any negative vibes from coworkers since I'll be using my break time to pump. Anyone else have experience with this?

Thanks in advance!!

Good for you. I'm glad that it's working out for you so far.

I've never had any problems pumping at work. We have an employee pumping room with hospital pumps in it and a nice recliner and a radio with magazines. I go there on all my breaks and pump. I did this for both children and just finished this week with baby #2 after 12 months of pumping

Dang, a recliner and a radio and magazines??? Wow.

This sounds nice... If I had some entertainment and an actual break room then maybe I'd like to pump more lol... Seems like we just find a room and designate it as the "pumping room" for the night or the week (if we're slow). I guess I can't complain though cause there is a tv.
