It's obviously an issue. Is LLL or any of the other breastfeeding advocacy 
organisations in the US involved?

SAN ANGELO, Texas - The Texas judge overseeing the polygamous FLDS sect's 
case has rebuffed pleas to allow breast-feeding mothers to remain with their 
children in state custody.

Attorneys for the women asked the judge to consider letting nursing mothers 
remain with their children after negotiations with CPS on the issue stalled. 
They asked the judge to let the mothers stay until DNA results are in, 
likely to take up to 40 days.
    Walther acknowledged the nutritional and bonding benefits of 
breast-feeding.
    "But every day in this country, we have mothers who go back to work 
after six weeks of maternity leave," she said.
    "The court has made a determination that the environment those children 
were in was not safe," said Walther, adding that there is a shortage of 
suitable placements for infants in Texas.
    The judge said she would leave it up to CPS officials and the attorneys 
to work something out on the breast-feeding. The attorneys, however, said so 
far they have been unable to come to agreement.
