This is a follow up to Fran Eastwood's post asking about companies with
breastfeeding support programs for new moms. In the October 1998 issue of
Working Mothers magazine, there is a report on the "100 Best Companies for
Working Mothers". I looked at the results of this nation-wide survey to see
how many reported lactation support, expecting maybe ten or twelve.  To my
delight, 87 companies had some type of lactation support as an employee
benefit. When I called the editor, she said this was the third year that they
had included lactation support in their survey of companies. It is a great
resource to use when approaching a company about starting a program.
