Australian actress Yael Stone shared her unique maternal experience including pumping milk during filming, and spoke of the supportive set environment of ‘Orange Is the New Black.’ Stone posted a series of photos of herself, that she appears pumping breast milk, and wrote:
“For the end of Breastfeeding Week, I’m celebrating the other side of the adventure, the weirdness of pumping milk when you can’t be with your little person cos you’re working.”
Stone, who welcomed her first baby girl, Pemau Stone Bancroft in 2018, stated that the ‘‘Orange Is the New Black’ set is one of the best places for a new mum-actress:
“Here I am dressed in various states of Morello season 7 distress madly pumping between scenes so my boobs don’t explode. Orange Is the New Black was an amazing place to be a new mum. They always made time for me to pump or feed our daughter when she was on set.”
The actress, who known for her support of women rights, concluded her message as follows:
“Not all workplaces are so supportive and I encourage them to do better cos happy mama’s means the world. Big respect to those mama’s who chose not or were unable to breastfeed for all the reasons under the sun. ❤️”
