I returned to my workplace two weeks early from my materninty leave after my child was in intensive care for the first month of his life; only to find out that I was not allowed to pump my breastmilk without using my paid time off even though three women in the office before me were allowed to without having to use their time. I was told it ws my “life choice” and they would not accomodate me in any way. I eventually was terminated from this employer for “other” reasons, however I know my termination was a result of my oposition to their new unfair policy about breastpumping. At one point I was even told that writing the word “pumping” on a sheet of paper and taping it to my computer screen to let other employees know where I was was offensive. It is a shame beacuse I was a good employee who enjoyed their job of three years.

Breast milk is one power packed liquid. It offers more for your baby than formula, or any other scientific creation for that matter. As you begin to plan for the future of your baby, make a commitment to breast feeding him for as long as you possibly can – as it will do both your bodies well

Isn’t it amazing that there has never been a breastfeeding mother in Congress before now? Keep up the good work, guys. I also joined Angela’s Facebook group about the Breastfeeding Promotion Act.
