Copied from the DDC website that Cindy alerted us to:

   New Mothers Are Taking Longer To Return To Work-If At All

   Challenge: A new mother is reluctant to return to work because she is
nursing her infant.

   Solution: Her employer offers the Mothers At Work program which provides
information
   and counseling on returning to work while breastfeeding.

No, this is not a solution to the 'challenge'. The solution is adequate
paid maternity leave. Pumping long-term to fulfill most of the nutritional
needs of an infant is not physiological; it is an inefficient way of
maintaining lactation; it is hard work; it is not as satisfying emotionally
to mother or baby.


Most of all though, it is sure as eggs  *not* 'breastfeeding'.
