Supporting nursing mothers in the workplace
Catch a glimpse of what nursing mothers might experience while trying to pump at work. Understand the general business case for supporting breastfeeding in the workplace, what employers should consider providing in and as a pumping space for lactating employees and other considerations employers can make to remove barriers for women who want to breastfeed their children while pursuing their careers or trying to provide for their families.
