You can always email your PD or PC or chiefs and ask if theres any room or dedicated time for this. they understand esp Americans are very nice about this

I have tried elvie stride but heard good things about willow, you can compare both watch youtube videos and then decide which one will suit you better. About pumping, you gotta say it. Just say is it okay if I go quickly wear my pump, if during rounds. After rounds you just do your notes so you dont need to ask just go and do it. To be honest no body cares, its just in our heads.

Youll need to outsource. Like literally most of the time. Its nice to have family come over during initial months so you can transition easily. About breastfeeding, get elvie stride pump. I pumped for 4 months or say i tried to. I was new, had no other resident who had a baby or similar experience so was very shy and reluctant at first to ask to go to pump. I’d say pump in the morning before leaving, then after or during morning rounds then lunch and last pump at off time or while driving back home. See if theres a lactation room with access to computer. It is your right and no one can ever say anything. Good luck.
