[ID] 558 [Interest Areas] Lactation Professional Public Health Worker [Comment] Staying home with a newborn baby is worth money. It's time we showed mother's that they are important as primary care givers for their babies by paying them for their time. Sending mothers back into the work force just to get them to work gives the message that it is more important to work at a minimum wage job flipping burgers than to nurture and breastfeed a newborn. This devalues both mothers and their children. We say our country is family centered and value based, but we value low wage jobs that any person can do over the personal devotion of a parent to their own newborn child. [Topic]
