"medical disability condition". I don't see that term being applied to breastfeeding any time soon! That would allow all mothers who work outside the home who have longterm disability insurance coverage (in the US) to claim breastfeeding as a "disability" and not return to work, yet be paid for their "disability"... but then again, maybe we would be able to increase the length of time women breastfeed if it extended thier maternity leave. As you know though, in the US, it will boil down to the all mighty dollar.
