mothers who breast feed. when you go back out to work do u pump while at work? are employers sensitive to your need for time to do so?

:shock: ewww. I would hope that employers are sensitive to this. But in the uk where the maternity leave is a year paid most women never have that issue. In other countries I guess it will be dependant on your managers.

I think sometime this year a woman won the right to express her milk while taking her medical exam.
I think tht exam was something like 9 hrs long or something so and she took them to court and won. 8-)

not correct KFC; it is 3 months full pay for most institutions, after which you go on half pay for 3 months, then statutory maternity pay for the next 6 months of the year. That statutory isnt more than a few hundred pounds. I will confirm this later.

thanks cause i've heard my cousins n they after they had theirs and i realise when you're full of milk it's really painful and it's certainly most embarrasing to begin leaking. in trinidad it's 3 months uhave at home and honestly it's nowhere near enough time in the general scheme of things.
