Maternal employment and breastfeeding. A study of 567 women's experiences
K. G. Auerbach and E. Guss
This survey of 567 women reports 676 mother-infant experiences with
maternal employment and breastfeeding. Timing of return to employment and
number of daily hours worked, rather than type of job, influenced when
babies weaned. Timing of return to work had a more negative effect than the
number of hours worked. Half of the respondents provided only human milk
for missed feedings. Mothers who used breast pumps or hand-expressed their
milk were more likely to nurse longer than women who did not pump their
breasts at times of missed feedings. American Academy of Pediatrics
guidelines regarding recommended timing of solid foods and weaning after
the first year were followed by many employed breastfeeding mothers.
Breastfeeding is possible following maternal return to employment.
