“Society wants women to work, but also have families. The current state of the work place does not allow for women to thrive in the workplace and as a mother. Breastfeeding is time consuming and postpartum women are sleep deprived but expected to go back to work. Society needs to have paid maternity leave, places to breastfeed and pump, and inclusive, easy access, and affordable childcare. Women need a team to support them through sick days and time off. We need to come together and provide a mother-friendly working environment to raise the next generation.”
