The commercial food industry may not like to admit it, but the best baby food isn't from a factory. There are societies that accept and encourage it, but the U.S. isn't one of them. Recently there was a demonstration of nursing mothers demanding rights to facilitate nursing and pumping at work.
The Israeli 12 week maternity leave from work certainly helps, and many of the colleges and universities have babycare centers so that mothers can have their babies conveniently nearby.
And if you look in some women's "workbags" you'll find breast-pumps and and sterile bags to store milk for baby's next-day's feedings.
