Or, the milk can just let down and flow. Not just a drop or two, ounces. This leads to soaked, dripping wet shirts.
Why should this woman not be allowed to leave the room and pump in private? She knew she would need to pump and arranged the break beforehand. She cannot just magically not need to pump; it doesn't work that way.
At one point, Beck, who had a 3-month-old daughter, requested a medical break which was contested by Trump and his lawyers, who wanted to continue, the Times says. That’s when Beck took out her breast pump to show that her request was urgent — she needed to pump for her infant. “You’re disgusting,” Trump told Beck before leaving the room.
Beck says she had pre-negotiated breaks during the deposition in order for her to pump. “[Trump] got up, his face got red, he shook his finger at me and he screamed, ‘You’re disgusting, you’re disgusting,’ and he ran out of there,” Beck said. She called his behavior “an absolute meltdown.” Alan Garten, a lawyer for Trump who was present at the deposition, told the Times that Trump’s statement “was in no way a statement about her decision to breastfeed or pump. It was solely the fact that she was appearing to do it in the middle of a deposition,” and Garten said Beck was using the pump break as an excuseto get extra time to come up with questions for Trump.

Presidential candidate Donald Trump called a lawyer and breastfeeding mother “disgusting” after she requested a break from a deposition in order to pump, according to a New York Times report on Tuesday.
He sounds awfully dreadful...while I believe we need to vote for NEITHER Bush or Clinton. Trump is a DUD. He will not get my vote.
Unless you have breast fed yourselves, you have NO idea what discomfort it is when your baby is overdue to nurse and your breasts are engorged with milk. It feels like you have two hard, painful grapefruits sitting on your chest. It is not only painful, but they leak and your whole bra and shirt front gets wet if the leaking milk saturates the absorbant nipple pads. Would Trump rather see this happen?
I'm sure she could focus on nothing else but to find relief, PLUS she has EVERY right to feed her child or express her milk.
What kind of attorney brings an infant child to court for a deposition?
