Breastfeeding and returning to work
Many women in Australia return to work within the first two years of their baby’s lives. For some women, the choice to return to work is about what fulfils them and helps them feel they are more present as mothers. Other women find that limited paid maternity leave can force them back into the workforce for financial reasons. If you are still breastfeeding your child, returning to work does not mean you have to stop.
