...Moms Pump Here’s advertising campaign for National Breastfeeding Month on Facebook this week has been rejected by Facebook’s Ads Team because, according to a Facebook representative (only known as “Kyle”), the image used in the ads does not follow their policy for advertising.
...The trend keeps going! Following announcements earlier this month from Netflix and Microsoft, California-based tech firm Adobe has now also expanded its employee maternity leave for new moms. The new version of their paid leave consists of ten weeks of medical leave and 16 weeks of parental leave, for a total of 26 weeks for the new mom to spend with her growing family.
...The trend continues! Yesterday, Moms Pump Here reported about Netflix’s new parental leave policy and today we are happy to report that Microsoft Corporation has also updated their parental leave policy.
...Streaming service Netflix is setting a new standard for parental leave this week by announcing it will now provide its employees with up to one year of paid leave after the birth or adoption of a child. This new allowance complements the already generous fringe benefits offered by Netflix, such as free meals, lavish salaries, generous stock options and unlimited vacation each year.
...Nursing mothers traveling, working, or residing in Illinois got a big boost from Governor Bruce Rauner this week when he endorsed the law which requires all large airports (listed in our airport nursing rooms locator) to create or add breastfeeding rooms by 2017.
...I believe in signs - signs that tell me I’m on the right path or that I’m doing the right things in my life. Birds are my signs, some other people feel the same way about hearts, butterflies, or pennies found in their path.
...When New York Governor appointed Kirsten Gillibrand to the United States Senate in early 2009 to replace Hillary Clinton’s New York seat in Congress, I felt a connection to her. She was born and raised in Upstate New York, which is where I was born and raised. She also had two young children, and her younger son was born the same year as my oldest son. I found it hard to imagine how a female politician could make it work so gracefully, but she then took it a step further by successfully winning a state-wide special election to maintain her seat in Congress. I thought she was a political woman who was sending working moms into the modern age.
...A woman breastfeeding her child was recently asked to “do it in the bathroom” when she was approached by personnel from Parrot Island Water Park in Fort Smith, Arkansas.
...I think we’ve all been there. Your waitress has just brought your food to the table, you’re about to take your first bite, and a young family sits down in the booth next to yours. Their toddler bumps your seat, reaches for your side of the booth, or is just plain noisy during the meal.
...Support for breastfeeding women is certainly growing. This week, a note on Facebook by the group “Breastfeeding Mama Talk” has sparked even more interest by showing the support breastfeeding women receive from retailer giant Target.
...“Find the Pony” is a phrase I say a lot. It comes from a story I had first heard when I was in college and I immediately applied its meaning to many pieces of my life. Now, almost 20 years later, I still find ways to apply it to my life and the lives of the little boys I am raising.
...I’ve almost always kept my breast milk with me when I traveled, whether the travel was for work or for pleasure. Some of my friends asked me why I didn’t ship it and I answered that I didn’t carry so much milk with me that I needed to ship it separately. A few friends in my industry would ship their milk back to their spouse or caregivers when they were on long trips because their babies preferred fresh milk over frozen milk. Some of these friends told me they had submitted the cost of the dry ice shipment as a T&E disbursement because it would be considered a “business expense”.
...A study published in the August issue of Obstetrics & Gynecology shows another positive side to breastfeeding: healthier-looking arteries later in life.
...Last week on Moms Pump Here, we talked about the five reactions many women receive when asking for a place to pump milk when they’re away from their babies. Last month, Assistant Public Defender Marissa Glatzer was representing a client in a DUI trial in Miami and she received response #2:
...As a mom who has used my pump in lots of great and not-so-great places and also nursed in mostly great places - I have encountered many different reactions to the question, "Do you have a place where I can use my breast pump?". Here are five - notice I'm not saying "Top 5" or "Worst 5" - there's a good mix in this list!
...Lazy days with nothing to do - this is what summertime is supposed to mean. Many of us remember our childhood summers like this. No schedules, no school, no schlepping to and from different events and commitments.
...I must be crazy. If you had told me during any of the 5+ years I have spent pumping or pregnant - that I would ever say I miss using my breast pump, I would say that's a crazy idea. Now, though, as we get ready for summer vacation with all three of my boys home from school - I can say I actually miss pumping.
