    Posted by Amanda on 30th Jan 2024

    This book will make you laugh and cry at the absurdity of what nursing/pumping mothers have to go through. I recommend for anyone breastfeeding, whether you’re working or not. The travel tips can be applied to a work trip or a weekend away from baby. It will give you tools to handle nannies, daycare, and your employer. A must-have book for all new parents.

    Pump or Bust

    Posted by D. Smith on 11th Dec 2023

    As the owner of a company that is made up by a majority of female employees, this book is not only great for the new or soon to be mom, but it is also a must read for employers on how to help navigate the challenge young working mothers face. Having compassion and understanding for these moms not only is a great thing but it is also a very real thing for employee retention and a creating a solid work environment.
