A few years ago one of my clients returned to work when her baby was six 
months old and she was still breastfeeding.  She discussed with the 
child-care director that she would bring bottles of expressed milk every day 
and was horrified when told that it was too confusing for the staff to have 
to keep her bottles separate from all the other formula made up and 
refrigerated.  She did not have an alternative child-care centre near enough 
to home or work and she did not have a car.
The child-care centre was part of a chain run by a women`s movement who 
fight for the rights of working mothers.  So without mentioning her name, I 
approached the regional head who was equally horrified and got the situation 
sorted out without delay.  So every mother who is refused the right to have 
her baby exclusively fed with her own milk should if possible choose an 
alternative child-care centre, or if that is not feasible - kick up a fuss.
