Breastfeeding and pumping in the workplace

When a breastfeeding mom goes back to work, it helps to have a plan. Lactation consultant Kate McLachlan explains a mother’s rights under federal law, which employers must accommodate pumping breast milk and how to check out which ones step up (check TexasMotherFriendly.org). Kate also walks us through questions about nipple confusion, bottles and pacifiers, storage and transportation, and how skin-to-skin contact during feeding can help daddies, too.
