Lactation Support Program

Tiny Babies Foundation is working with the State of Georgia Community Health Department & the CDC in support of their Healthier Worksite Initiative. A component of this initiative includes the Lactation Support program, which is intended to provide lactating employees with educational and environmental support of their breastfeeding goals. The main goal of the Lactation Support Program is to help employers set up a method to allow employees to discreetly pump and store their breastmilk at work. Representatives of Tiny Babies Foundation will work with companies in Atlanta, Douglasville, and Decatur areas to assist with employer/employee education, program implementation and support.

Did You Know?

Mothers are the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. labor force.
Approx. 70% of mothers with children younger than 3 works full time.
One-third of these mothers return to work within 3 months of giving birth.
Two-thirds return within 6 months of giving birth.
Low-income women are disproportionately affected.
These factors makes continued breastfeeding more difficult.

Given the substantial presence of mothers in the workforce, there is a strong need to establish lactation support in the workplace. - CDC
