This is a bit off topic but the wife and i don't have any children yet (expecting in January!!!), how often should a woman need to pump and how long should it take? I only ask because recently we had an intern at work who was breast feeding and took several breaks a day to pump. Most days she spent 3-4 hours in the pump room, often for over an hour at a time. I've had other co workers that got by with 30-45 minutes tops during the work day. Was this intern overdoing it? Taking advantage of a naive man?
Probably this.
I'm sure every woman is different, but I would let one of my employees use my office to do it so she could have some privacy and not have to do it in the bathroom and I think it wouldn't usually only take her 15-20 minutes.
What I learned from this thread:
Men have a problem looking at boobs if they aren't being used for sex.
It varies by the woman. The baby tends to set the schedule for the woman at first in terms of frequency. But like Carvers said, it isn't something that you can always schedule for specific times of day or lengths of time spent pumping each time. And yes, there are some women who might abuse the privilege. Some women give people ammunition to use against those who are simply trying to juggle work and infant.This is a bit off topic but the wife and i don't have any children yet (expecting in January!!!), how often should a woman need to pump and how long should it take?

Man, who breastfeeds at 16 months? Our youngest was eating solid food by then.

Yeah - teeth can be a deal-breaker. I've known women who were still nursing kids who could vocally ask for it, while nursing younger siblings. Definitely NOT my thing...but it's their parenting style. I'm sure there are plenty of people who would disagree with some of the choices I made with my children too. But if it's not physically harming the child, I say it's their choice.I'm sure this baby is too, but breastfeeding instead of milk. I wouldn't make it that long, between 9 months and a year (depending on teeth, yikes). Some babies have allergies that make this a better option.
See, I just don't understand comparing the two as equally "icky".I'm normally one to live and let live. But your company has gone out of its way to provide multiple spaces for this specific purpose. To me, the only possible reasons she's doing this are because she's actively seeking a fight, or she's passive-aggressively seeking attention.
Taking a dump is a normal and natural thing but do you think you'd get away with it if you put a chamber pot in your cubicle?
All that said, you can't say anything. You'll be the ass hole if you do.
