## Resource

New research reveals that simply having babies nearby at work isn’t enough to support successful breastfeeding—real time off after birth is critical. A study in Bangladesh found that even mothers fishing with their kids or traveling for trade struggled to maintain exclusive breastfeeding due to constant multitasking and work demands. Without paid parental leave, especially in areas lacking safe formula or clean water, breastfeeding becomes a major challenge. The findings underscore that proximity alone isn’t the solution; mothers need dedicated, uninterrupted time to nourish their babies—and that’s where policy must step in.
