Lactation and Employment: How to Make Breastfeeding WORK
For the 2023 World Breastfeeding Week, GOLD is excited to embrace the theme of "Enabling Breastfeeding: Making a difference for working parents". There are many factors that play a role in the discontinuation of breastfeeding after returning to work, ranging from lack of support from the employer to the physical ability to express enough milk needed to satisfy baby. Join us to learn more about how to address the lack of information and provide solutions to increase breastfeeding rates and duration after returning to work.
This presentation from IBCLC Brandi Gates-Burgess titled "Lactation and Employment: How to Make Breastfeeding WORK" is approved for 1 L-CERP. The recording is now available for on-demand access.

Topic: Lactation and Employment: How to Make Breastfeeding WORK - [View Abstract]
2. Describe strategies to overcome challenges when returning to work.
3. List at least 3 mental stressors caused by mother/parent and baby separation.
It is well documented that human milk is the gold standard for infant nutrition, yet practitioner bias, discriminatory medical practices, predatory formula marketing, and lack of access to qualified and affordable lactation support professionals continue to impact worldwide chest/breastfeeding initiation and duration rates, particularly in our most vulnerable populations. Providing equitable and unbiased lactation education and support, prenatally and during the critical first weeks of an infant’s life, can positively impact that child’s and parent’s long term physical, mental, and emotional health. In this presentation, we will discuss the factors, participants, and policies that influence a community's chest/breastfeeding initiation and duration rates and the investments that can be made to protect and promote chest/breastfeeding for all families.
