In 2007, Oregon became the first state to pass a law requiring companies with more than twenty-five employees to provide “non-bathroom” lactation rooms. (A national media campaign asks, reasonably enough, if you wouldn’t make your kid a sandwich in a public rest room, why would you expect a woman to bottle her baby’s milk in one?)
This article is hella long but immensely interesting (I think) and very informational.

This lady was also on talk of the nation on Thursday. I liked the article better. On-air she made it seem like mothers who were working/pumping were kind of coping out.
Oregon also has the highest percentage of mothers breastfeeding - at 88%.
