Read about new surveys from Mamava and Medela that look at how the coronavirus pandemic has impacted breastfeeding moms, particularly as they prepare to return to work.
, conducted in January 2020, looked at over 2,000 moms and how they felt about breastfeeding at work. The respondents were 2,068 working moms who are feeding their baby breast milk. The survey found that 4 out of 5 moms wanted better breastfeeding support from employers, but only 54 percent felt comfortable speaking to a manager or HR about it.
When it came to the best employer benefits, 37 percent cited breastmilk shipping, location consultant services, working from home allowances, accommodations at meetings and work events, free pump and accessories, unlimited pumping time and lactation spaces for multiple moms. Meanwhile, 33 percent said flexible return to work schedule and 20 percent said lactation space stocked with supplies.
“Returning to work after baby has always been a critical transition, and it will certainly look different when factoring in post-COVID health precautions for breastfeeding mothers. Now, perhaps more than ever, employers need to understand the nuanced concerns of new moms and establish procedures that will make her comfortable in the workplace,” Melissa Gonzales, executive vice president of the Americas, Medela LLC, also said in the release.
