abstract: 'Objectives: This study examines access to workplace accommodations for
breastfeeding, as mandated by the Affordable Care Act, and its
associations with breastfeeding initiation and duration. We hypothesize
that women with access to reasonable break time and private space to
express breast milk would be more likely to breastfeed exclusively at 6
months and to continue breastfeeding for a longer duration.
Methods: Data are from Listening to Mothers III, a national survey of
women ages 18 to 45 who gave birth in 2011 and 2012. The study
population included women who were employed full or part time at the
time of survey. Using two-way tabulation, logistic regression, and
survival analysis, we characterized women with access to breastfeeding
accommodations and assessed the associations between these
accommodations and breastfeeding outcomes.
Results: Only 40\% of women had access to both break time and private
space. Women with both adequate break time and private space were 2.3
times (95\% CI, 1.03-4.95) as likely to be breastfeeding exclusively at
6 months and 1.5 times (95\% CI, 1.08-2.06) as likely to continue
breastfeeding exclusively with each passing month compared with women
without access to these accommodations.
Conclusions: Employed women face unique barriers to breastfeeding and
have lower rates of breastfeeding initiation and shorter durations,
despite compelling evidence of associated health benefits. Expanded
access to workplace accommodations for breastfeeding will likely entail
collaborative efforts between public health agencies, employers,
insurers, and clinicians to ensure effective workplace policies and
improved breastfeeding outcomes. Copyright (C) 2016 by the Jacobs
