Breastfeeding

WANTED: Breastfeeding-Parent Friendly Workplaces

Successful breastfeeding is a collective responsibility that involves making all parts of our culture supportive of breastfeeding families. A key element is ensuring that breastfeeding parents return to work in environments that offer comprehensive support. Breastfeeding takes a village, but our village is not as equipped as it should be to ensure every mother who breastfeeds can do it successfully. We need brave, committed leaders of all genders in every workplace to stand up for breastfeeding. Are you one of them?

Making the Case for Mothers: Embrace’s Stance on Breastfeeding

In the absence of a comprehensive plan that centres mothers as the ‘breastfeeders’, it is highly unlikely that South Africa will meet the WHO’s global target of 70% for exclusive breastfeeding by 2030. As a movement of mothers and mother-supporters, and working for mothers and their families, we are committed to the work of making these positive challenges a reality.
