The best part about this post is that my firstborn e-mailed the article to
me, and she is a Norwegian librarian.  The next best part is that nobody
else seems to have posted about it yet, and my daughter's only personal
experience with breastfeeding is from being breastfed herself.

Finally, how about everyone cheering for this company's personnel policy:
"And the Boston Consulting Group, a management consulting firm based in
Boston, helps women bring their babies on business trips by covering travel
expenses for the infant and a baby sitter."   (This eliminates the problem
of how to get the pump and the milk and the cooling elements through airport
security.)

There's a company that gets it.  Now to have such policies instituted across
the board, so that breastfeeding and having paid work is the easy choice for
*every*  breastfeeding wage slave, not just the higher echelon.
