Exclusive pumpers of 2 under 2 - where do you pump?
OK, so I was nursing younger DS (3 mos) but now I am exclusively pumping. Long story short, our nursing was interrupted by me having the flu and going on Tamiflu. 
With older DS so inquisitive and literally in my face all day, I'm finding it difficult to pump privately. I end up pumping in my LR on the couch and older DS now says, "momma pump milk" and he tries to either touch the tubing or the pump parts and even tries to touch the speed/intensity controls! 
It is what it is, I guess. He used to see me nurse younger DS and he was fine with it, but I feel like I could be more discreet then. I just don't want to traumatize my older son by having him see Mama hooked up to a pump 4x a day.
Any thoughts?

When I'm home with both kids, I have no shame pumping in front of DS. The first few times he used to come up close and examine the bottles, tubes, and pump. Only once did he try to change the expression mode during my session. Now he just says "mommy milk" and goes about his business playing with his toys. I don't think you'll traumatize him in any way!

Dont have 2 kids, but I honestly don't think you will traumatize your son. I guarantee you he won't even remember that you use to pump. Kids are innocent. Your son sees nothing wrong with what you are doing.
