Women share workplace breastfeeding stories: 'I was given some grief'

This week an Australian Senator became the first woman to breastfeed in the nation’s Parliament.

In the UK the debate about whether women can breastfeed at work ensues.

British employers are not explicitly obliged by law to accommodate breastfeeding women, but they must conduct a risk assessment if a mother gives them written notification that she is breastfeeding.

The employer must then consider the risks and take reasonable action which, for example, could be to adjust the hours of work.
