The law, however, doesn’t make an exception for difficulty

But the article also says:

You don’t need to comply with this unless you have 50 or more employees or you can demonstrate a hardship

It seems like there is an exception for difficulty, then?

Also what does a breastfeeding room have to do with the child’s age?

I’m going to guess that the retaliation claim was where the big money was awarded…much easier to make a prima facie case, also.
