“The biggest challenge that many mothers face is getting back to work. Having a new baby can be a challenge in itself, and getting back to work will add even more pressure,” said Wiswell.
Therefore, Wiswell advises working mothers to make thorough preparations, especially finding out where to pump breast milk and adjusting the breastfeeding schedule to the work routine that she is doing.
Launching the Ombusman page of the Republic of Indonesia, Health Law No. 36 of 2009 Article 128 paragraph (2) states that mothers receive guarantees that during breastfeeding, the family, government, local governments, and the community must fully support the mother by providing time and special facilities.
Even special facilities for breastfeeding mothers are held at workplaces and public facilities. Law No. 25/2009 concerning Public Services also states that public service providers must also provide facilities / infrastructure for breastfeeding mothers or what is often referred to as lactation corners.
