Breast feeding is encouraged by doctors worldwide because of its plethora of nutrients, yet aspiring women doctors (also mothers) are not given additional break time to pump breast milk for their children in between their exam. How much sense does that make?
Is forty-five minutes enough time? Or should she be allowed more time? Also, should she be allowed to pump in a private area such as a bathroom?
Thoughts?

i took a sociology of birth & death class my last semester of college and we had big debates about breast feeding. i think an hour should be about enough time. any more and i think it might get a bit excessive. also, can’t she pump bottles and have them ready for the 2 days of testing?
