A Promising Beginning

World Breastfeeding Week is here! This year the focus is on making breastfeeding and work, work.

According to the WHO, only 20% of countries require employers to provide employees with paid breaks and facilities for breastfeeding or expressing milk. That is not good enough! A change needs to be made.

I always appreciate when the government recognizes the needs of breastfeeding mothers and makes changes for the better. Of course there are exclusions, but it is a step in the right direction.
