Please support this bill. Most women breastfeeding in Iowa will be working outside the home and expressing milk is crucial to continue breastfeeding as long as possible. Finding spaces to do this can be challenging. I'm glad to see this bill would clarify that expressing milk or pumping is allowed in public spaces, just as breastfeeding is allowed.
