Breastfeeding & Return to Work

The most comprehensive info I can find is from Maternity Action. They have an info sheet on your legal rights with regards to breastfeeding.

Finally the Breastfeeding Network have some info on returning to work, including some mothers own stories.

There doesn't seem to be a statutory breastfeeding break time in the UK, that may be down to an individual employers policy, just mention of time to rest. Provision of suitable facilities to express & store milk does seem to be mandatory.

A lot does seem to come down to your employer and how breastfeeding friendly they are.
