In this week's episode, we answer the question: can women have motherhood and a career? Learn more about the protections women are afforded while breastfeeding in the workplace and how not to ask a mother if she can make food in the bathroom. We also discussed the stigmas placed on working mothers by today's societal expectations. 

Here's the link to the federal guidelines discussed for breastfeeding mothers basic accommodations while at work:

• The federal Break Time for Nursing Mothers law requires employers covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to provide basic accommodations for breastfeeding mothers at work.
