As we celebrate World Breastfeeding Week, we're pleased to announce the launch of a new Breastfeeding in the Workplace toolkit to help employers create workplace environments that support mothers to continue breastfeeding when they return to work after maternity leave.

Supporting employees to continue breastfeeding benefits both families and employers. Evidence suggests that breastfeeding-friendly workplaces can improve staff retention, reduce recruitment and onboarding costs, and contribute to lower levels of sickness absence by supporting the health and wellbeing of mothers and babies.

The toolkit provides practical guidance, resources and best practice recommendations to help organisations:
✅ Understand their responsibilities as employers
✅ Support conversations between managers and employees
✅ Create breastfeeding-friendly workplace environments
✅ Promote employee wellbeing, inclusion and retention

This resource has been developed together with partners including NHS organisations, trade unions and the third sector. Together, we're helping to build workplaces where employees can return to work with confidence, knowing their choice to breastfeed will be respected and supported.

This , we encourage organisations to explore the toolkit and consider what changes they can make to support breastfeeding employees in their workplace.

Small actions can make a big difference.
