BARSTOW -- Marianne Lenta is out to let business-owners know that state laws protect the rights of new moms to nurse their babies at work.
Lenta, a registered nurse, is a lactation consultant at Barstow Community Hospital.
"I see every new mom and baby delivered at the hospital," she said. This adds up to 30 to 35 a month, she said.
In addition, new moms and babies from Ft. Irwin's Weed Hospital come to Barstow to meet with her as do mothers and babies from Apple Valley, Victorville and Hesperia.
The meetings are part of her infant-feeding educational program, designed to encourage every new mom to breast-feed for the health of the child. She recites a whole list of benefits she says mother's milk has over infant formula.
