Breastfeeding Friendly Employers & Worksites
Going back to work does not have to keep a parent from reaching their breastfeeding goals. Employers also win when they support their employees' breastfeeding goals. Research shows that employees return to work sooner, take fewer sick days and have lower health care costs when they are supported in breastfeeding.
Work together (employers and employees) before baby is born. Make a plan for flexible break time and a clean, private space to pump or breastfeed. State and federal laws protect a parent's right to breastfeed or express milk at work and in public places. It's not okay, and it's against the law, to send moms to pump or feed their baby in any kind of bathroom.
