Abstract

A significant number of women are combining childrearing and career. Mothers who opt to breast-feed while employed may demonstrate increased breast-feeding success when supported by knowledgeable counseling. This article discusses specific techniques for maintaining maternal fluid intake; pumping, storing and preparing breast milk; wardrobe planning; and personal hygiene. Knowledge of these measures will provide the basis for anticipatory guidance for mothers who wish to balance the demands of breast-feeding and employment.
