Impact of Employmenton Breastfeeding • Full-time employment shortens breastfeeding duration (Fein & Roe 1998) • Most women wean before end of first month back at work (Cardenas 2005) • Common challenges: • Maintaining milk production • Job settings not always conducive to milk expression • Lack of empathy/support

Disparities in Breastfeeding Women of lower Socioeconomic Status (SES) have lower rates of breastfeeding among all racial/ethnic groups. • African American women consistently have lower rates of BF (CDC MMWR, 2007) • African-American women are more likely to return to full time work sooner.
