On Jan. 18, a Portland man was arrested for burglary in the second degree and invasion of privacy. This man, 44-year-old Kent Gordon, hid a digital video recordef pen in a cup among other writing utensils in a female co-worker’s office to record her while she was using her breast pump. Gordon was caught when the victim noticed the recorder and turned it in to her supervisors who then contacted the police. Although Gordon was arrested on Jan. 18, the camera was discov ered on Jan. 14. He was fired the next day. Ariane Rakich, advising spe cialist for CCC, saw the scan dal on the news and said it was “thought provoking as a topic in society.” Breastfeeding has turned into a fear for many mothers. A sur vey done by Gina Cicatelli, who works for the Huffington Post, revealed that the biggest fear that mothers who breast feed have in America is nursing in public. Forty percent of American moms said they fear nursing in public. This is higher than the 28 percent who said they were scared about 4 Mwiwg -4 >r e aotfooding relotod paint or the 25 percent who feared the baby not being able to latch, or even the 5 percent who feared the effects that breastfeeding could Vetuuff Buffer Bails | 1 cup. powdered sugar * * I % cup creamy peanut outter 3 tbsp. butter, softened - Powdered sugar for rolling butter and butter, sliape into balls, roll in powdered sugar and place ; A rts & C u ltu re cu cookie sheet to dry.

Wendy Imel, a mother of two who works for CCC as an assess ment service project specialist is pro-breastfeeding. “1 feel that a mom should be able to breastfeed her child any where that she is,” said Imel. “I’m definitely for that, how ever, something like that being videoed, doing anything personal is really wrong.” Working moms can’t stay with their newborns all day when they go back to work, so they resort to other ways to continue breastfeed ing. Using a breast pump is very common, especially for moms who are working because it means they don’t have to use formula for their babies. Freshman Carla Vasquez believes that breastfeeding is good for babies, but the mothers could also be a little more discreet about breastfeeding in public. “It can be disturbing to people, but it is also natural for females. They could also be exposed to perverts,” said Vasquez. Laws about breastfeeding vary from state to state, but in Oregon, as of 2007, the law allows women to have unpaid 30-minute breaks during each four-hour shift to breastfeed or pump, allowing cer tain exemptions for employers. “Be discreet about pumping at work,” said Vasquez. “Talk to a boss or manager so you can get it permitted:” -- Some staff at CCC, such as Imel and Rakich, have used breast ■p wa a p s-afe' w ork w h i le being private about it. “I breastfeed my son, but he’s not here at work with me so I pump milk at work for him while I’m gone,” said Imel. Rakich agreed about her breastfeeding techniques; her son is now one year old. “I think everybody has differ ent personal preferences. For me it was always nice to have a little bit more private setting if possible, but when it came down to it, if my son was hungry then I definitely was open to breastfeeding in pub lic. I definitely just for my comfort level and for other people I have a privacy cover, which they make very cute these days and kind of makes it more convenient for everybody.” Rakich, as well as finel, use a breast pump at work since neither is able to bring their children with them. Most mothers who work and choose to breastfeed do not have the option to bring their child to work, so breast pumping may be their only option. Even though not everyone is comfortable with it, there are many options in keeping it private and making it as discreet as possible. Ariane Rakich and her now one year old son play fo r a photo.
