Should this mom get extra time to pump her milk, in the middle of her medical boards? What a difficult question. On the one hand, 45 minutes seems like enough time, on the other, how often does she get a break? She's got a lot on her plate. A 2 year old with developmental delay and a new baby. She's getting her MD/PHd and she's nursing a newborn. I think she's incredible and I feel tired just thinking about all the things she's doing. What does everyone else think?

As a lactation counselor I know it is imperitive that she pump. With a new baby milk needs to be removed frequently to ensure that her supply won't diminish. It's a supply and demand issue. If she doesn't remove it then next time she goes to nurse or pump she won't make as much.

I agree she should be allowed to pump.

Yeah, she should pump... coz if she stops, the supply would stop.. that's what me and my wife experienced... But if you know making money online, you can afford to buy milk for bottle but surely it's better that babies should drink their moms milk rather than cow milk...

i just only agreed with the carol i think carol is right...The ipad video is a fancy news print reader, or a replacement for paper. This makes it ahead of its time. The idea of tablet computers is nothing new; Microsoft has been working on one for years.
