Abstract
As the numbers of women of childbearing age in the workforce continue to increase, some employers and employees have viewed maternal employment to be incompatible with breast-feeding. This qualitative study investigated factors that hindered as well as facilitated breast-feeding in the workplace. Findings suggest breast-feeding and employment can and should be compatible.Keywords
