Babies 'n Business: Corporate Lactation Programs & Breastfeeding Resources

The business case for lactation support programs? Easy. Retain valuable employees after maternity leave with a Corporate Lactation Support Program. Modest investment, great returns. Lower your health care and insurance cost, avoid "brain drain" from employee turnover, reduce sick time taken by parents for children's illnesses, and have higher employee satisfaction.

Health Care Reform may mean change for your business. Do you understand how to comply with the new breastfeeding-related requirements?

Our experienced board-certified lactation consultants are here for you: Needs assessment, program design, program management, employee and manager training, lunchtime seminars, consultations, and equipment rental and sales.

Returning to work doesn't have to mean the end of breastfeeding when you can keep feeding your baby directly at home and use a pump to collect breastmilk at work. Section 4207 of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (also know as Health Care Reform) will provide new options for many women.

The law states that employers with more than 50 employees shall provide breastfeeding employees with reasonable break time and a private place (not a bathroom) to express breastmilk during the workday, until their child's first birthday.

If your employer doesn't provide a private place and time for milk collection, ask them how they plan to comply with the law—then tell them about our consultation service to make it easy on them.

Are you worried about breastfeeding or having trouble? You may just need the right support. The Lactation Consultants at Babies 'n Business will analyze the problem, help you work out a plan, and be there for you when you need us.
