Would you retain a nursing mother?

Most career women here who still have small children will hire a nanny for their child, or they choose to stop working. Everything returns to the woman before, whether she wants to keep working or chooses to quit for the sake of raising children. If I were a boss I would give them the choice and not force it on them.
It is definitely the right thing to do because someone being a nursing mother should not be a reason why they are not employed to work in any company as long as they are doing exactly what is expected of them.
If she has a track record of being diligent, working hard, and taking her work serious In the past, then if I'm the business owner or the employer I would have no other choice than to retain her, because she is a valuable asset, and the nursing would just be temporary for the meantime.
Having a child is a normal phase of a woman's life. I won't lay off a woman simply because she has to go through a normal phase in her life.
