[ID] 1068 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen Other Areas: Nursing Mother [Comment] Until we have a Maternity Leave program that allows women more then a few weeks to be with their children, breastfeeding will suffer. The 6 weeks of protected leave now is not enough time to recover from childbirth, establish a good nursing relationship, and figure out how to get organized enough to go back to work when most mothers aren't even sleeping 8 hours a day. A minimum of 6 months paid leave would benefit employers as well as the new mothers. [Topic]
