Perceived Workplace Breastfeeding Support among Employed Mothers in Jordanian Universities
The levels of perceived workplace breastfeeding support were moderate. Improvements are suggested in workplace policies, managers' and co-workers' awareness and openness about supporting employed mothers, flexibility and time availability to facilitate breastfeeding/pumping, and appropriate locations for employed mothers to perform breastfeeding/pumping conveniently. Further research in diverse job settings is required to examine the relationship between workplace breastfeeding support and the duration of exclusive breastfeeding.
