[ID] 940 [Interest Areas] Breastfeeding Coalition Representative Health Care Provider Lactation Professional [Comment] I work with the Healthy Start Program with the Native American population. Most of the women choose to feed formula even when informed of the benefits of breastmilk. When asked why, most responded they planned on going back to work. While many tribal areas have rooms for the BF moms, there usually isn't sufficient time. The moms state it is just easier and they dont want to get into trouble with their employer. There needs to be more worksite support, maybe legislation to protect the moms. There also needs to be discreet methods to express milk. I remember seeing a breast pump that fits under the clothing but have not seen it since. There also needs to be more onsite child care along with the worksite support. [Topic]
