[ID] 616 [Interest Areas] Breastfeeding Coalition Representative Lactation Professional Nonprofit Organization [Comment] Making workplaces more breastfeeding friendly is critical to the health of mothers and nursing babies. I believe a national campaign informing mothers of their rights and getting more workplaces to change policy is a step in the right direction. Lactation support in all areas of life will make it easier for moms who have to work to continue to nurse their babies. I feel many moms already plan to quit nursing when going back to work, and this way they don't have unneeded worry placed on them from the beginning. Onsite childcare would be a huge advantage to all involved -- moms, babies, and employers. Making more jobs baby-friendly is a good balance for today's working moms. Milk expression in regards to working should be held in such a regard as being able to breastfeed. Too many moms are pumping in bathrooms stalls or in utility closets. This can't be good for milk production or the pysche of a nursing mom who has to express milk at work. [Topic]
