Today I'm wearing "Breastfeeding Empowers Women" in fuscia/red from INFACT
which is in Toronto CANADA.

Just a thought on discounts and "free pumps:"

When I taught private childbirth classes at a military hospital in Virginia,
I granted tuition discounts only if the parents met two criteria: (1) their
car was cheaper than mine, and (2) they planned to breastfeed at least six
months. If they could afford a fancier car than the one I drove, or planned
to bottlefeed, they could afford to pay tuition. One army Major wanted a
discount because he was paying a lot for his new mortgage. I responded "I'm
paying for a mortgage too, which is why I charge tuition for these classes."
End of discussion.
