|
|
|
|
|
|
Organization and the U.S. domestic health agenda, Healthy People 2020;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
both recommend exclusive breastfeeding, defined as providing breast milk
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
only via breast or bottle, through the first 6months of an infant''s
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
life. Previous literature has shown the correlation between
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
socioeconomic status and breastfeeding, with higher maternal education
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and income as predictors of sustained breastfeeding. This same
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
population of women is more likely to be employed outside the home.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MethodsPubMed and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
searched using inclusion and exclusion criteria to identify the effect
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of maternity leave length and workplace policies on the sustainment of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
breastfeeding for employed mothers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ResultsCommon facilitators to sustainment of breastfeeding included
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
longer length of maternity leave as well as adequate time and space for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the pumping of breast milk once the mother returned to the workplace.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Barriers included inconsistency in policy and the lack of enforcement of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policies in different countries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ConclusionsThere is a lack of consistency globally on maternity leave
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
length and workplace policy as determinants of sustained breastfeeding
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for employed mothers. A consistent approach is needed to achieve the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
goal of exclusive breastfeeding for infants.'
