Hi, I was asked to post this to the group hoping one the the legal experts
would answer.
Here is the problem.
Mother ( a nurse) is working at a small hospital in Washington State. She
works 12 hours shifts and has a small baby whom she breastfeeds. The father
brings the baby to the mother at the hospital twice during her shift to
breastfeed .The mother feeds the infant in the nurses lounge covering up her
breast.The mother breastfeeds her on her own break times and does not ask
for any special treatment. The director  has told the mother she can not
breastfeed her baby at work .The director is the only one who has had any
complaints. The mother is wondering if the director has any legal right to
make her stop breastfeeding at work?
The mother would be happy to talk  via phone with an attorney specializing
in breastfeeding issues.
Thanks
Jan Aken
