Many breastfeeding women are able to carry on feeding when they return to work.

There is no need to stop. Once a mother has made arrangements with her employer, she often finds it comforting to be able to continue this close bond with her baby.

Employers have legal obligations towards their breastfeeding employees and if you wish to continue breast-feeding you should discuss this before your return to work.
