Here in the United States, we have laws that help protect breastfeeding and pumping moms, such as the right to nurse your baby in public. But many of these laws are determined by the individual states. So, what exactly are your rights? How do you learn about these laws? And why do we need even laws that determine how and when we can feed our babies?

But that doesn’t mean the laws are always upheld and the result can be devastating to a mom who simply needs to feed her baby.

And do they really make a difference?
