Here's a NY Times article about how different jobs, primarily white collar vs. blue collar, provide different policies in regards to working moms who need to pump breastmilk on the job. The milk gap is just another example of the haves and the have-nots.
I was horrified to read about the degrading treatment working class moms received when attempting to negotiate time and privacy to pump. Breastmilk has been proven to have so many health benefits in a child's life, but it appears to be a luxury only the middle class and up can afford to provide because the government won't step in and provide some basic requirements from all businesses.
And we have the nerve to call ourselves a "modern" society.
