We invite employers to take these first steps toward supporting breastfeeding employees:

• • Complete our inquiry form for the Business Case for Breastfeeding Program. Whether you’re ready to implement the full program or you simply have questions about the process, we’d love to hear from you.
  • Our program manager will connect with you to answer your questions. If you’re ready, we will schedule an initial worksite assessment. Including Human Resources in the initial assessment can be helpful as we review workplace data and policies.
