As an elected official, I'm sure women in all levels of government feel a strong desire to participate as soon as possible (not taking a year's leave, as they might in another job).  As such, expect to find young baby's in chambers/parliament buildings. This is such a non issue. I spoke before our city council where one member was a new mom.  She was present for the meeting and all votes. She (as did other members for various reasons) retired to an anti-room where she could continue to listen, but not disturb. 

In just a few short months, the baby will be old enough to be left with a sitter or other parent, but in the first few months, which better serves the public, a breastfeeding mom present, or a mom home on leave? Either is valid, and both should be supported.
