This year’s World Breastfeeding Week theme “Breastfeeding and Work: Let’s Make it Work!” calls for concerted global action to support women to combine breastfeeding and work. Whether a woman is working in the formal, non-formal, or home setting, it is necessary that she is empowered in claiming her and her baby’s right to breastfeed.
As a part of the celebration, the Journal of Human Lactation is making available 10 articles on balancing breastfeeding in the workplace — free through September 1, 2015!
