WHERE do you see women doing this? using a breastpump is not the most comfortable thing. and it's more time consuming than letting your baby breastfeed.

but we're not in the rest of the world! perhaps you should give some examples of the type of work women do in other places that makes it easier for them to incorporate breastfeeding, but HERE, most poeple work in envirionments where that's not possible.

and using a book as your primary reference on breastfeeding is just...i don't know...something seems wrong
