At Bayer Corp., off the Parkway West in Robinson, mothers who return to work after maternity leave are encouraged to breast-feed longer by using breast pumps in the pleasant surroundings of secure "lactation rooms."
If they use pumps when they are away from their babies, mothers can keep their supply of breast milk sufficient for their children's nourishment. Milk is then refrigerated for the infants to have later.
