Do other staff members resent peer counselors bringing their breastfeeding infants to work?
In most cases, peer counselors who are bringing their babies to work are working part time, usually only a few hours a week. Bringing a baby to work for a few hours is much different from bringing a baby 40 hours a week. Most staff members understand this. Some local agencies have also allowed other staff members to bring nursing babies to work. We leave a lot of flexibility to the local agencies.
