New Mom At Work
I got a new colleague today. J is a new mom, fresh out of confinement. I must say she kept her figure well. She certainly doesn’t look like someone who just had a baby.
Early in the morning, she waltzed into the office with some baggage, most notably, a small cooler box. That piqued my curiosity. She brought some sort of post-natal supplements that needed to be kept cool or something?
Turns out the cooler is for her breast milk. Which begs the question, will BB be making an appearance at the office some time today? She did ask me if there is hot water for sterilization.
I will find out soon enough.
Right around lunch time, she disappeared into the bathroom and pretty soon the sound effects started.
Psst…psst…psst…
J was pumping her breast for milk. She collects her milk each afternoon for the next day’s supply. She was in there for quite some time and I started to wonder how much milk she’s gonna get with all that pumping 
Anyways, I quickly got hold my galfren who is also a mom over MSN and we chatted a bit about it. Yeah, we sure were nosy and we really shouldn’t be giggling over something that is so natural.
But hey, this is something really new to me. I’ve hardly been around new moms except while visiting friends at the hospital. I don’t really know the “natural” things that they do with their BBs. Watching my other friend J breastfeed her baby was my first time.
We’d better get used to the sounds coming out of the bathroom because that’s gonna keep happening until J weans her BB or she runs out of milk, whichever comes first :p
