Let’s face it. Pumping at work probably isn’t the highlight of your day. If that’s the case, you’re definitely not alone. Jane W. recently posed a question to La Leche League USA: “I hate pumping at work. What do you do to make the time more enjoyable?” Our readers took to Facebook and shared what works for them – anything from streaming their favorite show to closing their eyes and enjoying peace and quiet for a few minutes. Read on for a few highlights and then take a look at the original post and the rest of the suggestions at www.facebook.com/LaLecheLeagueUSA/posts/2942339719127888.

I took lots of videos of my little one so I could watch them at work while pumping. I actually noticed an increase in how much I pumped. I also liked listening to audio books and watching Netflix. – Katrina Valdivia Crane, Facebook

Meditation, catch up on a Netflix show. I decided to take it as a moment at work to remind myself what’s really important (me and my family) and slow down for a minute. I always had a relaxing snack and had some me time. – Jennifer Crutcher, Facebook

My babies never slept through the night, so pumping at work was at least a 15-minute break where I could close my eyes and get some peace and quiet, knowing people couldn’t interrupt me! – Bethany Lukacs, Facebook

I watched movies or television shows on my tablet while pumping. It made the time go by so fast. I would download Netflix shows at home and wouldn’t need Internet access while pumping. – Megan Nelson, Facebook

I pack “pumping treats” so I have cookies and chocolate to look forward to once I go to pump. – Danyelle Garlitz, Facebook

I played puzzle games on my phone. It made me forget all about how much I loathed pumping and I swear I was actually able to pump more because I was actually relaxed and not sitting there watching the pump fretting about whether or not I was getting enough. – Nicole Chambers Zeigler, Facebook

I would sit and watch silly videos of my son on my phone. It was the highlight of my day to take those breaks and get to see my baby. – Aubrie Adamo, Facebook

Listen to an audiobook! It helped pass the time and actually helped me look forward to the “down time.” At home, I would time pumping with a new episode of a favorite show. Same concept. – Krista Leann Peebles, Facebook

Snacks and lunch…I was always hungry! I worked evenings so I also would FaceTime my husband and baby to say good night. It helped get through the time away. – Brandy Anne Miller, Facebook

I would read a book or take my laptop into the room with me and just work. That way I wasn’t paying attention to how much I was producing and not having to worry about all the stuff I had to do when I got back to my desk. I was able to just do it. – Genny Walters, Facebook
