Jennifer Garner’s New “Alias”: Pumping Princess

by selfmademom on April 25, 2007 · 5 comments

medela.jpgJenny G’s on the working mom quotable rampage again in the May issue of In Style. In her interview, the celebrity working mom comments about the ease of maintaining her breastfeeding routine of daughter Violet amidst a busy schedule.

‘that suprised me – how much I loved [nursing],’ she says, ‘and how effortless it has been to pump anywhere in the world: in the car on the way to the Oscars, in countless airplane bathrooms…. there’s always a sympathetic woman who will help you out.’

Ah, such is the life of a Pumping Princess. I’m guessing Jenny G doesn’t have to worry about remembering her pump parts, or pumping in public and getting harassed for it.  But she may have a point, the Medela Pump In Style would make a heck of a purse to take to a formal event.  Large shot glasses and an ice pack to keep my shrimp cocktail cold. Sweet.

Wow, I’m really jealous of the whole Google thing! I just now read your last couplef of posts. OK, this comment box is doing something weird and I can only see some of what I’m typing, so if it doesn’t all come up when I submit it, that’s why! Anyway, I love Google, so anything that has to do with them gets me excited! As for the pumping thing, I agree, while it was fairly easy, it wasn’t easy enough for me to attempt in an airport bathroom, that’s for sure!

Good for Jennifer Garner for nursing! I thought for sure all of those celebs gave up on nursing a long time ago. BTW – I tried nursing in an airplane bathroom, not so fun. Maybe because I don’t get to travel in first class…or maybe because I am not Jennifer Garner…

OMG! I can’t believe you friend’s experience, I’d have freaked out.

I used that Medela pump when I was a working mom and it’s a real workhorse- worth EVERY penny!

PS- found you via Adventures in Babywearing :o )

What exactly does JG mean, “in countless airplane bathrooms…there’s always a sympathetic woman who will help you out?” With pumping?? Or explaining to other passengers that the rhythmic electro-mechanical sound coming from the bathroom is a.) not a vibrator and b.) not a bomb?
