Pump It, Kim Zolciak! (But When You Get Home!)

Thanks Huff Post for this pro-nursing but anti-safe driving bit of celebrity mom news.
Kim Zolciak of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" is such a busy lady that the only time she finds to pump breast milk is while she’s driving.
No, she does not have time to pull over. She lets her 14-year old daughter steer while she pumps away. But don’t worry, the mom controls the foot pedals.
"It saves me time," she said later of pumping while driving. "That way I can get right back, feed the baby. He's a tank. He eats like crazy."
Perhaps legislation against texting and driving is not what we should be fighting for at all. Perhaps, just perhaps, the problem is a little bit larger than the use of phones while driving.

I think we might need to reexamine how busy our lives are and what is the most important. And perhaps we need a reminder that while driving, our focus should be on the road and NOT on anything else that involves the use of our hands and attention.

  2. I can't even imagine how she'd be comfortable enough to do this behind a steering wheel!
