I saw the article too. You've said exactly what I've been saying since my first child was born 6 years ago. It's the perpetuation of putting more pressure on mothers without the resources. Here's a perfect example: I have a friend with a 7 month old. She is a physician in the middle of residency. She's taken off time since her baby was born and will begin work again next month. She's been exclusively breastfeeding and plans to pump, but is afraid she won't be able to keep it up, because they won't give her the time it takes to pump in the hospital. PLUS, there are no appropriate private rooms for her to pump. She's a PHYSICIAN. What's the message?
