Angela Kinsey Pitches Nursing Humor to Office Writers

Landov

As The Office characters Jim and Pam prepare to welcome a baby in this Thursday’s episode, real life mom Angela Kinsey — who portrays Angela Martin on the hit NBC sitcom — had some words of wisdom for the show’s writers.

“I … tried to pitch them some breastfeeding jokes,” she revealed to the Toronto Sun, noting that she returned to the set when her own daughter Isabel Ruby, now 22 months, was just eight weeks old.

“Not to over-share, but I had to pump,” she explains. “That’s a working mom’s life if you want to breastfeed.”

“We had to take pump breaks all day. Our female writers on the show don’t have children, so I pulled them aside. I don’t know what they used or didn’t use, but it’s a fun episode.”

Isabel is Angela’s daughter with estranged husband Warren Lieberstein.

As an avid fan of The Office, I’m so excited for this episode!

Can’t wait to watch that episode. Pumping at work is a bit weird but certainly necessary.

I love the Office!! Can’t wait for this episode! I am a little disappointed that they didn’t do more with Pam’s pregnancy. Not that it should have been the focus of the show, but I thought they should have played it up a little bit more. Although, the episode where Pam asks everyone to take it easy on the pungent food, and Dwight defiantely pulls out his hard boiled egg,and Pam w/out breaking eye contact w/ Dwight, throws up in her waste basket (which got the entire office throwing up) was hilarious!

Pumping gotta be one of the most torturous things ever, especially for us with sensitive nipples, oh boy!

I can’t believe Isabel is almost two…they grow up so fast!

Funny. Breast feeding is a pain when you work, esp. if you don’t get to it fast enough. I won’t get into the details but you breast feeding moms know where I’m going. Yeah, there could have been some really funny breast feeding bits. Looking forward to seeing what they ended up with.
