This was needed every since. I have a young baby and to try to ensure she gets adequate breast milk I have to pump at work however there isn't any accommodation for me to do so or any privacy. It is very difficult.

I have 2 kids and one on the way . This is the only one I worked for someone wid . And I feel 3 months is to short of a time . I waited till me kids were 9 months before I put them in day care. I hope this petition reached its mark. Soon . Because I soon pop . Lol

I support this movement. Breastfeeding is imperative.

Great move! Definitely in the best interest of the child.

I fully endorse this. 3 months is not long enough for a mother to bond with her child. Most times it's less than that depending on how long the female started their leave before the child was actually born. If there is no family member trustworthy and responsible enough to take care of the baby when mummy goes back to work they have to look to leave a completely defensive child with a stranger/day care. It's crazy

This early time with your infant is so important for both baby and parents. So happy they are trying to give dads paternity leave as well.

Giving our future generations a brighter chance, starting with breast milk.

I think this would be extremely beneficial to mothers, babies, fathers and society as a whole !!! It is positively traumatic for a mother to leave her 3 month old baby to return to work !! Let's catch up with the rest of the world !

I strongly support the paternity leave! We don't get babies without men and we shouldn't be at home alone with a newborn, without them
