Helping our Mothers and Babies by Joel Schlachet, Aug 11, 2008 (5:02pm)

This bill will provide payed leave for mothers so that they can breastfeed their newborn infants without repercussions from employers. In addition businesses will be given tax breaks for setting up private lactation centers so that mothers can breastfeed at work. This bill is supported by various health groups that believe breastfeeding is very important for a child’s growth.
