Just thought I would let the list members know that the school leadership met 
today and decided the 15 year old new mom needs to stay on homebound on 
a month by month basis as long as she is breastfeeding (not return to 
school).  There were so many reasons (excuses) given that it was mind 
boggling.  For example, no available electrical outlets for the pump, no 
students allowed to roam halls between classes so a teacher would have to 
personally escort her back and forth from her pumping sessions and the males 
among the ranks were extremely un- comfortable just escorting this young 
woman to her pumping place.  This is much more distressing to me than it is to 
the young mom and her family.  I think they are resigned to the fact of 
returning to school and introducing formula to this exclusively breastfed baby 
which is of course the expected turn of events around here (southern USA) 
and not inclined to fight or become a trailblazer.  So sad!  We can only try to 
help her find ways to continue offering mom's milk as much as possible and 
protect her awesome milk supply.
