Pump-Friendly Work Clothes

You’re getting ready to come back from maternity leave and most of your pre-pregnancy clothes…well, let’s just say they don’t fit the way they used to just yet…and now you have to factor in pumping at work. Many of your previously go-to work tops just aren’t easy to pump in, and you need to find a few work appropriate pumping staples to add to your weekly rotation.

We asked Emily Donnenfield, a friend of Work & Mother and a fellow Houston working mama, for her go-to, back to work, pumping recommendations. She recently returned from maternity leave and had to invest in a few new wardrobe staples to better accommodate her pumping routine. Her biggest advice? Buttons and zippers!
