Abstract
Several factors, including new breastfeeding recommendations by the American Academy of Pediatrics, increasing numbers of women with young children in the workforce, more women initiating breastfeeding, and a strong economy combine to make this an ideal time to promote breastfeeding in the workplace. In a previous article, we presented a return-to-work breastfeeding assessment tool to evaluate lactation support in workplaces. This article focuses on the workplace itself, presenting a continuum of types of workplace lactation support; the key players in the workplace, new mothers, supervisors, and human resource managers, who are instrumental in supporting breastfeeding at work; workplace philosophies and their impact on workplace lactation support and strategies to help lactation consultants work with companies as their clients in establishing lactation support programs.
