Lactation question workplace
employment attorney Texas Jul 24, 2026
Location: Texas Hello, I am currently 7 months pregnant. I am a reserve peace officer that comes into work at the department 2x a month 12 hr shifts. Recently between the last time I was here and this time the workplace has put cameras everywhere in the office except the bathroom of course. There’s no private area to pump as it is a small office. What is the best way to bring this up to my employer? Just fact wise and straightforward. My only options at this point without cameras and such seems to be the bathroom or my vehicle. I 100x plan on pumping. This is my second child and currently I am already leaking milk/ colostrum in good amounts and if I remember right I produced a decent amount in such a short time period that pumping often is necessary to prevent pain and also milk supply drop. Any advice?
