  • Time - Sufficient break time or flexible work hours, that will allow a mother to express an adequate amount of milk throughout the day.
  • Space - Moms will need a clean, private and comfortable space at work to pump. Closets and bathrooms do not qualify as suitable spaces for this purpose.
  • Support - Having Mother-Friendly/Breastfeeding-Friendly Policies in place can provide much needed support for working mothers while also educating other employees about the benefits of breastfeeding.
  • Increase duration of  breastfeeding              
  • Health benefits for mom and baby    
  • Less money spent on formula and healthcare claims          
  • Maintenance of close mother-infant relationship

An outlined support program is great for employees too!

Here is just a quick glance at some of the employer benefits:

Breastfeeding Friendly Workplace Requirements
Employers should provide a reasonable break time and a sanitary, private place for nonexempt nursing mothers to pump milk at work. The Business Case for Breastfeeding is a toolkit for employers with excellent resources and tools to help you comply with the new federal requirement, to help establish successful workplace lactation programs for all workers, including lower-wage and hourly employees.
Evidence shows that a supportive work environment with a private place for mothers to to express milk and access to a quality breast pump helps women breastfeed longer after returning to work.
Allow Lactation Concierge Services to help you comply with the Affordable Care Act to support breastfeeding mothers in the workplace.
