The New Yorker on Breastfeeding

Check out this week's New Yorker for interesting article on the evolution of breastfeeding, pumping and the related legislation in the U.S. It kind of makes you think - I'm all for women pumping and for them having the legislation that protects their right to do so (I mean not having that legislation kind of sends the message that we don't value the health of our children very much) - but I would much rather see women having much longer paid maternity leaves. Anyway, check out the article. It's good to see breastfeeding making the mainstream media in the New Yorker instead of just La Leche League newsletters. http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2009/01/19/090119fa_fact_lepore?currentPage=all
