About the Research<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This UK study investigated the wellbeing, opportunities and experiences of mothers who wish to continue to breastfeed on return to paid work. Previous evidence found not meeting infant feeding goals (feeding in the way the mother wants to, for as long as they\/their child wishes to) can have a detrimental impact on wellbeing for both mother and child. Further, it explored how employers can be better equipped to support their breastfeeding workers, and how workplace policy, and practice can evolve to support them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Drawing on the lived experiences of mothers, HR professionals and line managers in the UK, the study provides practical, evidence-based recommendations for policy makers and for workplace policy \/ practice.<\/span><\/p>\n

We will discuss some of our headline findings and policy implications and invite attendees to join a wider dialogue on promoting maternal wellbeing and inclusive workplaces.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Full Study Report<\/a> and Executive Summary<\/a> are available to read in advance of the event.<\/span><\/p>\n
