I only nursed my baby when I was with him after I went back to work when he was 3 months old. I was only able to continue for a few months like this, but I really didn't want to spend extra time at work pumping and taking my pump back and forth between home, my office and the client office I worked at sometimes. He took a bottle fine, but did not like the pumped milk the few times I did pump for him. I've talked to other women who have done this and they were able to nurse a lot longer than me. I was glad that I nursed him for 5 months.

I remember seeing a woman in Air Force fatigues (camouflage) at one of my meetings pumping in the bathroom. I was really impressed and went and found her the key to one of my company's mother's rooms.

Arwen, thank you for sharing this. I had a lot of issues pumping at work when my daughter was little, but reading this, I think I didn't have it as tough as I thought. (On of my colleagues - yes, a man, of course - did ask me once how things were going at the cow farm in my office, but I assume that's part for the course in a male dominated industry where I worked.:)
