Hi

I wondered if anyone could help me to order my thoughts here!

We have a lady wanting to return to work early from Maternity leave. Her role is a mobile one, there is no office bound alternative, the lady would like to continue breastfeeding, and we would like to support her as best we can, however we are at a loss as to how we provide a suitable location for her to express milk when her role is visiting client sites (who may not have suitable facilities), or on the road moving between client sites.

Has anyone else encountered such an issue and how did (or theoretically would) you practically do for this employee.

We are able to easily provide storage facilities (a large cool bag that runs via a car battery/plug or conventional ice blocks) that are easily mobile, we are involving the lady and her midwife in discussions about how we can support her in her role and allow her to continue breastfeeding also.

Any advice/guidance or ideas are more than welcome!!
