A multinational company to ship breast milk to babies from their travelling mommies

IBM's latest initiative towards its nursing mother employees is to launch a service which ships breast milk home to the babies while their mothers are on business trips.

Given how most airports don't have breast pumps and are full of security check problems, "where Transportation Security Administration agents have been known to confiscate breast milk", this seems like a breakthrough suggestion.

Quoting Barbara Brickmeier, vice president of benefits at IBM, "As long as there is one mother who finds this beneficial, I don't have any threshold of usage of whether we continue the program or not."

The service is supposed to go live in September 2015.
