Breastfeeding and returning to work

Returning to work and continuing to feed your little one can feel daunting. My guest this week, historian Genova Messiah, has been listening to the experiences of women returning to work from the 1950s onwards, and coupled with her own experience and training as a peer supporter, she couldn’t be a better person to talk to about how to work with your employer to get the best for them and your family. What are your legal rights in the UK? How can you make your return to work as easy as possible? Follow Genova on instagram: @yum.mummaFind out more about breastfeeding and chest feeding older babies and children in my book Supporting Breastfeeding Past the First Six Months and Beyond: A Guide for Professionals and ParentsFollow me on Twitter @MakesMilk and on Instagram  @emmapickettibclc or find out more on my website www.emmapickettbreastfeedingsupport.comResources mentioned in this episode - Genova’s episode for the Childcare voices podcast: Breastfeeding (on-the-record.org.uk)Accommodating breastfeeding employees in the workplace | AcasContinuing to breastfeed when you return to work - Maternity ActionBreastfeeding and Work - ABMThis podcast is presented by Emma Pickett IBCLC, and produced by Emily Crosby Media.
