C'mon...who in the hell has to pump every 2 hours for 20-30 mins? Considering most moms have maternity leave, the baby is at least 2 months old before she goes back to work and I don't know many 2 month olds who eat every 2 hours.

I'm all for limited government, but my wife had to sit in a bathroom stall while she used her pump at least twice a day at work. Asking a company to provide 1 office with a door so women can have some comfortable privacy to perform a vital function that keeps our babies alive is really not that bad.

Yeah, especially if you're not the one who has to pay to provide that space, right?

It depends on the pump and how much you can get each go round. Hey we can solve it by requiring the employer to by the nursing mom a hospital grade pump. Maybe that will be Hanna's next bill.

Your wife could haved stayed home to care for her child, or had the day care workers feed the child formula. Why is it your wife's employers responsibility to provide free time and space for her to do what she wants to do?

That is special treatment- and it is not fair treatment for the government to get involved in breastfeeding.

Now, if an employer wants to provide a breastfeeding lounge and the time away from work to pump- in order to market themselves to the female candidates, that is the employers right.
