I am so far behind that I haven't yet read the post that led to this post,
but it is definitely okay - I am more than happy to talk to any employed
mothers who are trying to figure out how to make breastfeeding work after
returning to employment.  I should state a similar caveat as Liz did with
respect to her ability to provide legal advice outside of Florida, I am only
licensed to practice law in California.  Therefore, if a mom wants to
litigate an employment case in another state, I almost always suggest that
she find legal counsel in her state.

Having said that, I want to reiterate another thing that Liz may have
mentioned and if she didn't this time, then she has in the past - litigation
is really the last resort option.  An employee should do everything in her
power to show her employer why it is economically better for the employer
for the mom to continue breastfeeding - in most cases, if the mom is
speaking to the right person in the organization (and this is SO key), the
issue will not be raised to a level where litigation is necessary.  The key
for the mom in many cases is to speak to the right person in the company and
this is something that as an advisor it is important to help the mom
explore.

Warmly,

Alexis
