Women should never be forced to make a choice between mother-work and other work. Many women mistakenly think they cannot breastfeed if they plan to return to work, and thus they may not talk with their employers about their intention to breastfeed or how breastfeeding might be supported at their workplace. All breastfeeding policies and strategies underline the importance of providing support for lactating mothers and highlight the need to promote specific interventions in the workplace. Possible strategies for working mothers include having the mother keep the baby with her while she works, allowing the mother to go to the baby to breastfeed during the workday, telecommuting, offering flexible work schedules, maintaining part-time work schedules, and using on-site or nearby child care centres.
女性绝不应该被迫在育儿工作和其他工作之间做出选择。许多女性错误地认为，如果她们打算重返工作岗位，就不能进行母乳喂养，因此她们可能不会与雇主谈论自己的母乳喂养意愿，也不会提及在工作场所如何获得母乳喂养支持。所有母乳喂养政策和策略都强调了为哺乳期母亲提供支持的重要性，并突出了在工作场所推行具体干预措施的必要性。职业母亲的可行策略包括让母亲在工作时将婴儿带在身边、允许母亲在工作日去给婴儿喂奶、远程办公、提供灵活的工作时间表、维持兼职工作安排，以及使用现场或附近的日托中心。
