[ID] 242 [Interest Areas] Breastfeeding Coalition Representative Lactation Professional Nonprofit Organization [Comment] Maternity leave legislation needs to revised and realistic.Not many women feel well enough to work full time after childbirth at 6 weeks postpartum.Those who wish/must work should do what is best for them ,of course. Babies need to be with their mothers ,not just for the breast milk but because of the psychophysiological reasons that promote the health and wellfare of the mother and baby.women have breasts for a good reason.It would be in everyone's best interest if maternity leaves were long enough that a woman didn't need to worry about expressing milk. Those who will be at work need affordable child care ,preferably onsite.Women who work in lower paying jobs need the same lactation considerations as those in higher paying jobs-a place to express milk.The Business Case for Breastfeeding should be widely promoted and programs devised by baby food companies should not be used.
