Do you ever wonder how you are going to pump when you get back off maternity leave? Will your supervisor be supportive? What are the policies to help you review what you need?
Well look no further, Jessica Ruttenber currently works on the HHQ Women's Initiative Team at the pentagon where she advocates for women's rights postpartum in the workplace. In this episode she gives you the 50,000 foot view over HHQ leadership's outlook as well as her view as a mom of three children, all of which she breast fed by pumping in-flight as a pilot in both the KC-135 and C-21.
