Each year an estimated 118,000 Australian women return to paid work within 6 months of delivering a child, that is, at the time when it is recommended that they breastfeed their infant exclusively (feed them breastmilk and nothing else) to provide them with optimal nutrition . For these women, breastfeeding at work is necessary if they are to breastfeed regularly enough to maintain a supply of breastmilk sufficient to enable exclusive breastfeeding and workplace support is necessary to allow them to breastfeed at work.

Choosing to do so often produces unexpected emotions and raises many challenges affecting the whole family. Some mums fear the thought of returning to work, especially if they haven't been working for some time. Others feel relieved about regaining an identity and look forward to the stimulation of adult interaction. Mothers can often experience guilt, low confidence and self-esteem when rejoining the workforce, or worry about childcare arrangements and how their children will cope. The good news is, with planning and ...

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Your milk is a living substance so precious some call it "white blood". It is essential to store your expressed (pumped) milk properly to maximize its nutritional and anti-infective qualities. Human milk actually has anti-bacterial properties that help it to stay fresh. Giving your baby the freshest milk you have pumped ensures its high quality. This information is based on current research and applies to mothers who: have healthy, full-term babies; are storing their milk for home use (as opposed to hospital use); wash their hands before expressing; use containers that have been washed in hot, soapy water and rinsed. All milk ...
