I'm new at Lactnet, so bear with me if I resurrect "old" discussions.
I work for WIC at the State level after 9 years of local WIC experience.
Three of our support staff a pregnant and we want to institute a
breastfeeding policy so that they can bring their infants under 4 months
to the office and/or pump here.
We are looking for other offices who have worked out the issues. Our
administration is particularly interested in other Gov. settings. I am finding
that the oldest and most successful program have admin. support, not
written policies, but we have to work in our own system.
I feel that WIC should be in forefront in supporting Breastfeeding in the
workplace.
Secondly, what is your opinion of the book "..So That's What They're
For"? I bought one for my daughter-in-law because it looked so user
friendly and I scanned the nutrition sections (my expertise) which looked
quite accurate.
