Boy, do I need help. I work in a small company and have an employee who recently had a baby. She is returning to work in a couple of weeks and wants to continue to nurse. She wants approval to have her baby brought to her desk for feedings a few times a day. I don't have a clue as to what I should do.
Many companies offer child-care services, which makes it easier for nursing moms.
Be prepared by asking the mother for a tentative schedule and list of her needs. If you have access to a day-care center, that probably would provide better opportunities for your employee to bond with her baby through nursing. He's a good worker and completes his work quickly and always produces a quality product. A co-worker who met him was so impressed with how he performs his duties that he has been asked to transfer to another unit. It would be unfair to move this employee simply because you are uncomfortable with his disability.
