I get the feeling something is missing from this article. Are they really talking about mothers breastfeeding at work, or mothers who use a breastpump at work?

Either way, it's not the responsibility or employers to provide special treatment to breastfeeding mothers.

Probably breastpumping but the next bill will probably be that breastfeeding moms must be allowed to take their babies to work. Also, how much breastpumping is the employer supposed to endure. What if she has to do it every two hours for 20--30 minutes a pop?

It all depends what they look like. Just kidding, don't hammer me.

I did both (breastfeed & use breast pump to store milk) and did it in a bathroom area at work which was clean, but I brought my own towel to place over the counter area where I placed the liners and the pump. I stored the milk liners in a large zip lock bag inside of a paper bag with my name on it inside the freezer. I removed the frozen milk and took it home in a cooler filled with ice them placed it in my own freezer at home.

Neither my child nor I suffered as a result. She needs to get over herself!
