Are you a working mother who is breastfeeding and has recently returned to work? Does your employer support your efforts to breastfeed?

The Massachusetts Breastfeeding Coalition is seeking feedback from working mothers who are breastfeeding. We would like your help in identifying employers in Massachusetts who actively support the efforts of their employees who want to continue breastfeeding when they return to work after maternity/adoptive leave.
