>> 7. OPM Promoting On-Site Breast Milk Programs
>> The Office of Personnel Management says that in keeping
>> with President Clinton's "family friendly" workplace
>> policies, federal agencies should set up programs that
>> allow mother's to produce breast milk while at work.
>> Here's what OPM says: "Not long ago breast-feeding was
>> considered a private affair, solely carried out in the
>> home. But today, many mothers are choosing to continue
>> breast-feeding after they return to work. In order for
>> mothers to keep producing ample supplies of milk, so
>> they can avoid using formula supplements, nursing mothers
>> need to pump their milk during the workday. Because of
>> the large numbers of mothers choosing to do this, many
>> corporations and federal agencies are beginning to offer
>> lactation programs to working mothers who return to the
>> job after being on leave for the birth of a child. It
>> doesn't require a lot of money to set up a nursing
>> mothers program. At a bare minimum, all that is required
>> is a room with an outlet, refrigerator and chair that
>> can be used as a pumping station."
