Abstract
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends exclusive breastfeeding/chestfeeding for the first six months of life, encouraging its continuation as long as the mother and infant desire. European rates of breast-milk feeding quickly decrease after four months, suggesting that there are other determinants, including personal characteristics and parental leave, which work against breastfeeding continuation. Recently, new working practices have been adopted since the COVID-19 pandemic that might reduce this decline in breastfeeding. There are some objective elements supporting teleworking as a new breastfeeding-friendly option for both parents to adopt.
