Parenting: Lactation Resources
Research has clearly shown that breast-fed babies are healthier than those who are bottle-fed. There has even been some recent research that says there is a correlation between breast-feeding and higher IQ’s. Employers are increasingly recognizing that moms and dads will have to take fewer sick days to care for infants who are breast-fed. Yet it is often difficult to return to work and continue breastfeeding. There are a number of things a supervisor can do to support their new moms in their efforts to both work and continue breastfeeding. In this section we explore some resources and programs for lactation.
The following links will provide information on these topics:
