~~ Ah see this is really getting somewhere. How and who determines the  need. 
Is it the mom who says I really want to continue breastfeeding even though  I 
am back at work by 6 weeks? Is it a group of moms who come to a support group 
 meeting solely because they are worried about this when they go back very 
soon  after the meeting? We are challenged here as to whether we answer  their 
honest questions about how to continue breastfeeding when separated,  or tell 
them we can't tell them anything but they can pay someone  one-on-one to help 
them?  I keep thinking about how  what Chris  said and that the Code was 
designed to protect mothers from aggressive marketing  of breastmilk subsitutes and 
paraphernalia that undermines  breastfeeding. Is it working for moms and their 
babies in this instance?
