There are three essential requirements to ensure that employees can successfully combine work and breastfeeding.

Time: Allow employees sufficient break time to pump, or provide flexible work hours. 

Space: Have available comfortable, clean and private space for expression and storing breastmilk or provide nearby or on-site child care so that employees can breastfeed on break and lunch.

Support: Develop "mother-friendly" workplace policies, improve attitudes towards breastfeeding by educating workers and management about the benefits of breastfeeding.
