Hi and Happy New Year to all,
I am working on passage of a workplace accommodation bill for breastfeeding moms in the state of Oregon.  I need some studies that show the impact on breastfeeding when a mom returns to work.  I have a couple good ones, and I could use a few more.  WE met yesterday with our chief opposition, a lobbying group that represents businesses state-wide.  

A theme that ran all thru our talk was "show us the problem."  It's not enough that we marshaled dozens of moms last session to tell their stories.  It's not enough to hear from the LCs like me who have heard daily fro years from moms about the difficulties they've faced in the workplace.  I need statistics. Please help if you can, and cc your response to me privately.  I'll be at this address today and tomorrow.  Then I am off the next 5 days, and my home email is [log in to unmask]

Thanks in advance from
