Pumping in The Workplace

Lactating parents have legal protections in the workplace. This lesson prepares you for the important role of helping them understand and advocate for their rights, with excellent explanations of the relevant laws. Instructor Denisha Lundy, CLC, CHW, provides:

• A history of how workplace protections applying to lactation have evolved over time
• A thorough explanation of the provisions of the PUMP Act, signed into law in 2022
• Guidance on how to help a lactating parent access the rights protected by the PUMP Act and other relevant workplace protections
• Steps to take if rights are violated, with specific examples and case scenarios

In the United States, the average lactating parent returns to work within 12 weeks postpartum. Your support on their journey to combine lactation and employment can make all the difference. Being prepared with an understanding of workplace legal protections is an essential step.
