[ID] 566 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen Health Care Provider [Comment] As a person who breastfed for 16 months and worked full-time the entire time, I know the difficulty in finding a place to pump and the time. It needs to be made a law that employers give you time to pump. I am a pharmacist, so I was able to basically tell my employer I would be pumping, but there are a lot of mom's who do not get to do this because they don't have a good job with a degree to back it up. Breastfeeding decreases the time off a mom needs because it is better for mom and baby, and employers need to be made aware of this. All mothers should be allowed to breastfeed and work full-time if needed. Unless it is made a law that mom's be allowed to pump without negative effects, then only mom's who are in professional level jobs and stay at home mom's will be able to do this. The country is so unhealthy, and we need to increase breastfeeding rates. [Topic]
