Women who want to only breast feed their babies wouldn't go back to work until their baby was weaned. And women who are physically incapable of breastfeeding their babies obviously wouldn't be able to and they would have to be bottle fed. But the women who are lucky enough to have the choice to breastfeed and who want to do so just don't leave their babies for too long.

I'm not really sure what point you were making...
I was making the point that babies can not always be fed there and then, and while in public can surely wait 30 minutes until the mother is somewhere private. And well maybe going back to work was a bit silly because obviously they would wait, but I mean like if they had to go away.
