There are many ways that places of work, schools, and other settings can accommodate infant feeding. Mothers and other infant caregivers should feel supported. Balancing infant feeding with other responsibilities takes time and emotional energy. The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine states that helpful strategies include:

  • Paid leave
  • Infants at work
  • Childcare on-site or in close proximity
  • Lactation breaks
  • Flexible start and finish times
  • Working from home
  • Access to part-time work
  • Formalized lactation programs and support
  • Physical facilities, such as a comfortable parents’ room

This booklet from the Carolina Global Breastfeeding Institute has great information about breastfeeding as well as tips for returning to work, dealing with child care and breastfeeding. Click here to read it.

We have an entire “My Job or School” section dedicated to returning to work or school policies, tips, and information.

Welcome to NewMomHealth.com™

We envision a world where every woman receives the social, emotional, physical, and economic support she needs to successfully transition through the postpartum period and into her new identity and life as a mother. Health care systems, businesses, and society should value and respect women not only for what they bring to families, communities, and nations but also for who they are in and of themselves.
