The Jerusalem Post (English language) had some interesting articles on
the UN report about going back to work/maternity leave. (Wed. Feb. 25,
98) Some surprises: Hungary has 24 weeks paid leave. Australia (with
the best bf track record) has no paid leave although moms can take up to
a year unpaid. According to a study done at Colombia University,
"breastfeeding breaks have never entered the public discussion in the
U.S. ... People just assume that if you go to work you use formula."
