[ID] 378 [Interest Areas] Employer [Comment] Unpaid leave is also a critical option - may women choose to sacrifice financially to stay home already, but having the option to return to a job after up to one year out would be incredibly supportive of increasing nursing rates. Unpaid leave may be MORE productive on that front even that increasing paid leave availability or length (since at this point 1 yr paid seems like a non-starter). Getting paid leave increased by a few weeks does not address the difficulty of continuing to work out of the home and continue to nurse (supply challenges, difficulty getting to pump, etc) beyond a few months whereas the option to take an extended leave albeit unpaid would likely allow many many women to nurse much longer.
