I am to an age where another friend has a baby just about every month and so these things occur to me sometimes! Good friend of mine had a little girl on Friday.
I was an exclusive pumper with my first baby because she was a preemie. This was seven years ago and I don't remember how long my pumping sessions lasted, but it seemed like I was never not pumping. And this was with a fancy-pants hospital pump that I imagine was more efficient than the commercially available ones.
How on Earth are female residents able to breastfeed!?!
Do they just arrange to have a computer in a closed-in closet so they can pump while charting? Seems like that's what attendings do but I imagine that would be much more difficult for a resident to arrange for both for practical reasons and because you don't want to seem like a princess.
