[ID] 1238 [Interest Areas] Employer [Comment] AS a WIC Certifier, I see the worry of breastfeeding mothers of going back to work and not being able to provide enough breastmilk for their babies. A lot of employers do not provide an area or time to pump and this sets up an embarassing situation for moms. We, at WIC try to educate breastfeeding moms about pumping and storing their milk. In some cases we can provide a pump for them. It would be my suggestion, that an employer provide at least 4-6months off with a salary insurance for moms that would pay them 1/2-2/3rds of their monthly pay. (a year would be perfect, but we don't want to fool ourselves). [Topic]
