Experiences of breastfeeding among women residents in Alberta: a cross-sectional survey.

Conclusions: Women residents face barriers to breastfeeding at work which require systems-level intervention. Residents from surgical programs may be the most vulnerable to these barriers. Program directors, residency wellness committees, and hospital administrators should prioritize addressing these barriers for women residents returning to work after maternity leave. Examples of interventions that may address these barriers include policies, designation of lactation spaces, and flexible return-to-work schedules. PMID: 32875929 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
