When Bailey Cannon Dean started a new job two months ago, she was still nursing her baby boy, River.
“My work is super supportive,’’ says Cannon Dean, 39, who is an OB-GYN in Reno Nevada. She’s able to pump milk in her office, and her employer has given her a refrigerator where she can store it and offered her an exam room where she can have some privacy. “But it’s still hard, just logistically.’’
Once, when she had to pump while a patient was in labor, the only private space she could retreat to was a locker room. “I just sat there (and) locked the door, she said, adding that when she had contemplated pumping while being back at work I had no idea how hard it was going to be.’’
