Dear Johanna, You need to join BCUS (Breastfeeding Coalition of the Uniformed Services) and contact Julia Block and/or Liz Flight. Frank J. Nice, CAPT (Ret.), USPHS Date: Wed, 25 May 2005 00:25:54 -0400 From: Johanna Gilbert <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Military and breastfeeding I am hoping someone is able to tell me if the Air Force has any regulations regarding breastfeeding. I know active duty military mothers are non- deployable for about 6 months after birth, but I have not been able to get my hands on a copy of something that states the regulation about breastfeeding in the workplace. The Marine Corps has a wonderful regulation supporting our servicewomen. Also, is there a federal regulation that would be helpful for a mother that is returning to work full time that would allow her to pump during the day and standards of the pump areasZ? I am a hopsital based LC in Okinawa Japan working for the US Navy, so the individual state legistations won't apply. Thanks for your help and all the wonderful knowledge I get from the Lactnet! It gets a little lonely here in Japan! Johanna Gilbert RN,BSN,IBCLC U.S. Naval Hospital Okinawa Japan _________________________________________________________________ On the road to retirement?
