Breastfeeding at Work
WorldWIT, a global network for women in business and technology, kicks off National Breastfeeding at Work Week (September 4-8, 2006) today. In addition to advocating for resources and education for nursing mothers, WorldWIT formally recognizes businesses that support nursing moms, and offers companies the opportunity to show their dedication to creating a work environment that supports nursing women via their Milk Works pledge program.
If you are nursing and returning to work, don’t be afraid to ask about space to pump. There may be resources in existence that you don’t know about, or your employer should (at the very least in good conscience) make accommodations so that pumping in bathroom quickly becomes a thing of the past.
