The Washington Post recently published an article on their website (See it here) about the trials and tribulations of nursing mothers who need to pump at work.
The article introduces a Washington DC law (The Child's Right to Nurse Act) passed in December 2007 that gives nursing mothers the right to a private and clean room outside of a restroom where they are free to express their milk at work.
We applaud the intentions of the lawmakers, but also mourn the fact that passing a law was necessary to get employers to provide a good space for nursing mothers to pump.
