- Mothers Rooms
- There are multiple rooms designed just for pregnant or new moms. They were set up give nursing moms some privacy but you can use them to relax when your pregnant feet are too swollen or you need a break. Most have couches, lockers, sinks, and lots of helpful reading material.
- I have said it multiple times and I'll say it again. I would have not nursed Teagan as long as I did if I didn't have such a resource. I would dare not pump in a bathroom or a conference room that I could be walked in on. I'm very grateful for mother rooms!
- Added bonus, I met other working moms and became friends with them.

- Parent Network
- My company has many groups including a parent's network. There is a website with discussions boards and they frequently have brown bag meetings on various parenting topics. I use this resource often
- A
- Flexible Schedules.
- My favorite one of course! I can work 4 days a week and keep my benefits.
- Or depending on your team, you can work full time with a compressed schedule and have a day off here or there.
- Using a couple of sick hours take your child to a doctor appointment is not frowned upon either.
- Pretty sweet! A+
The cool thing about the mother rooms and parent network is that they were initiated by employees. If your company doesn't have such a resource, start one!
Do your employers do anything to support the working mom?
Love,
