Maternal feelings after cessation of breastfeeding: influence of factors related to employment and duration
Article Abstract:
Unmet breastfeeding goals during employment appear to significantly affect the feelings of working mothers. Interviews about planned feeding methods and feelings at weaning were conducted during pregnancy and throughout the first six months after delivery with 53 mothers intending to return to work. Women not breastfeeding as planned when working reported greater feelings of guilt, sadness, and depression. Other comparisons made were not significantly different.

Combining breastfeeding and employment: increasing success
Article Abstract:
Working mothers should practice expressing milk, set goals for breast milk and formula balance, identify a private and clean area for expressing milk and find a secure place for storing breast milk at the workplace. A childcare provider should be carefully chosen to follow the mother's feeding plan. Storage guidelines and common breastfeeding obstacles have been highlighted.
