Hi everyone,

These are excellent questions Janice, thank you for the ideas.   I was lead 
to believe that she was removed from her work environment because of the 
risk of these chemicals to the fetus, but I will clarify that.  I am in 
Ontario, and now have some good ideas to check into.  Thanks!

Subject: Re: occupational chemicals and breastfeeding

Was she assigned to a different position while pregnant, to protect her from
exposure to these chemicals?  Was it labour laws, or occupational safety
laws that caused her to be re-assigned?  If so, these same laws could/should
protect her while breastfeeding.  Where are you, so that you could research
these laws.  I think it would be worthwhile to check on with the
Occupational Health & Safety representative at her workplace, and with your
state/province.
