Balancing work and motherhood is no small task, but this Bernama article offers hope and encouragement for working mothers who want to continue breastfeeding.
One of the most important takeaways is that workplaces can play a big role in supporting mothers. Having a dedicated lactation room, flexible work arrangements, and understanding employers can make a world of difference.
Breastfeeding while working is absolutely possible with the right support. Many mothers successfully pump and store their milk, ensuring their little ones continue to receive all the benefits of breast milk even when they’re apart.
Public awareness is another key factor. When society recognizes the importance of breastfeeding and provides the right environment for mothers, it becomes easier for us to breastfeed confidently, whether at work or in public spaces.
Fathers and family members are also a huge source of support. When they encourage and assist in small ways—whether through emotional support or sharing responsibilities—it helps make the breastfeeding journey more enjoyable.
The article highlights the positive steps being taken in Malaysia to create breastfeeding-friendly workplaces and communities. These efforts ensure that every mother feels empowered to give her child the best start in life.
