How about a copy of statistics on $ saved employers when moms don't need sick time because of an ill child? (Is this in Auerbachs, I don't remember for sure but know I've seen it.) Realize this mom has to be tactful but I could think of lots of things to say--though unprintable. Poor women who are only doing what's best for their babies; it's such a shame.
