The health benefits of breastfeeding for infants and mothers are well documented. Despite the numerous health benefits of breastfeeding, many women in the United States do not meet their breastfeeding goals. Return to work or school is one of the greatest barriers to breastfeeding. We conducted a systematic review of the literature to more fully understand the association between work and breastfeeding. We found a strong association between return to work and breastfeeding cessation.
