Our Monthly Partner Post "All my coworkers knew that I was a breastfeeding mom. During this photo we had a mandatory urinalysis, I had to pump, no one cared b...ecause they knew how I felt about the importance of breastfeeding my children. Do not be embarrassed or ashamed about having to pump at work. Have a conversation with your supervisor before baby arrives that you intend to breastfeed. This will give them time to accommodate your needs." -Michelle Amaya-Schmidt Military Mommies believes in the importance of supporting military families on their breastfeeding journey. That's why we support the Military Birth Resource Network in their efforts to connect military families to local support all over the world.
