AP friendly workplace

[ZooKeeper]

Yes there is such a thing as an AP friendly workplace. I work (mostly voluntary) in the Indigenous community at a community centre out bush. at my work, I can BF on demand. That's considered to be the only proper way to feed a bubba, BF on demand. If that's happening during a meeting that's fine.

Bubs can be on my lap (or on one of her Poppa's laps) as much as she wants to be. It would be seen as wrong of me to want to treat her any other way than to be close.

Bubs is spoken to like she is a person with her own feelings, needs and ideas about the world. she is also listened to. time and space is made within discussions if it needs to be.

just thought some of the AP people out there might find that interesting. I'm also curious whether anyone else has an AP friendly workplace?

I don't, but how fortunate you and your daughter are!! Sounds like we could all learn a lot from your experience.

Yes you are very lucky! I wish all workplaces were as supportive of mothers and children.

I know at my work we are allowed bfing breaks and this is seen as a positive as long as your baby is under 12mths if bubs is over 1 then I know alot of staff who snigger and make comments *insert angry face here*

However when I return to work after Mat leave next year I will be bfing bubs and she will be over one....god help anyone if they snigger:shame:

We had our own business when Hendrix was born so i would take him and feed him whenever i wanted.

Now we are back to our original industry, its the same. I feed him in the middle of an open plan office while everyone around me discusses interest rates etc. It was the same with Maikyra. It helps that my BIL owns the business, Hendrix's mentor is there and i have known most of the team for over 8 years.
