This week’s episode was recorded with a live online audience during World Breastfeeding Week 2022.

Simone Casey is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and member of the Lactation Consultants of Australia and New Zealand (LCANZ) and College of Lactation Consultants Victoria (CLC-VIC). She works in a private hospital breastfeeding clinic in the inner-city, and has her own private practice, visiting mums in their homes in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia.

 Simone shared with useful ways organisations can  be inclusive for breastfeeding including:

• Have a breastfeeding policy that includes, and outlines lactation breaks and nominates a breastfeeding or expressing/pumping place in the workplace
• Remembring breastfeeding women are likely to have less sick leave and absenteeism because breastfeed babies have better immunity.
• Recognising that breastfeeding is for a relatively short period and women who feel supported during this time are likely to be more loyal to their workplace.

Here's some great resources:

• Australian Breastfeeding Association
• Breastfeeding Friendly Workplaces
