his beautifully designed book is an outcome of the Mother-Friendly Workplace Initiative (MFWI) launched by WABA in 1993. In an easy-to-understand style, it addresses pertinent issues confronting working women who choose to breastfeed. The guidebook provides information and advice on how women can combine breastfeeding while resuming work, outlines advantages of breastfeeding, recounts experiences of mother-friendly workplace initiatives in various countries and describes maternity legislations and other policies protecting working women who breastfeed.
