For moms that pump, how do you conduct depositions? What about hearings? Or mediations?

I cleared with an associate to tell the other side that she needed to pump and we would be taking longer breaks. We agreed to do longer sessions (1.5 hours) before taking a break.

I just do my best to plan ahead and give myself grace when I’m not perfect. Hearings are easy, they rarely go longer than 3 hours. I just pump once before then after. Haven’t had to pump during a mediation yet, but for depositions, I pump right before it starts, then at the lunch break, then ask for a break in the afternoon if it’s going all day. I try to schedule all my depositions to go forward remotely so I have the privacy of my office. So far, it’s worked for me!

I tell everyone when I need a break and take it. If by Zoom, this is personal preference but sometimes I went off camera and pumped if I didn't want to stop the depo, but that was totally my choice. Otherwise, just put people on notice. For hearings, I tried to pump just before the hearing or time it so I can pump immediately after. If going to a courthouse, be prepared with all your stuff.

And the way I did it was, "Counsel, I will need a break every 2-3 hours because I am lactating and need X amount of time to pump." On the record, I just say we need the break for medical reasons.

Hands free pump. Lots of breaks. eufy is the best one get an insert. I try my best to force them to be remote but in person a hands free pump is a must.

Props to NA1 but in no universe would I be wearing my eufy in front of a witness and OC. They look absolutely ridiculous on!

By the time I was back in the office, I wasn’t pumping that much. I would pump in the car on the way in, once during the day, and in the car on the way home.
