Breastfeeding/Pumping at Fest!

[Charlotte Rowan]

Hi everyone!

It's been awhile since I posted here, but I need some help from my faire peeps! As some of you know, I recently became a mom-- my son will be 5 months old at the start of Fest. I am still nursing, and I am performing full time at Fest. I may have my son with me a few times if the weather cooperates, but mostly he'll be staying with his aunt and grandparents. Which means... I'm gonna have to pump at Fest. Awesome!! I'm looking for someone with a shop or somewhere with a bit of privacy, who would be willing to let me come there 2-3 times a day to pump. If there's a little corner where I could store my cooler to keep the milk cold, that'd be great too, but I can do without that. Really just need a private place to bear my bosom and tend to the demands of motherhood.

Thanks in advance for any help/leads on this!

Are you a Fest Friends member? They are usually very family supportive.

Hmm, I'm not, but that's a good idea. I'll contact Peggy or Liz.

If Fest Friends isn't going to work out for you, I can check with my booth owners. PM me if you still need a spot (or a back up spot).

Wait, you WORK there?  I'll see you this Saturday.  Tell me which booth to visit?

Gauwyn is right...if you're looking for me, NOT in my booth would be your best bet.
