Welcome to Workplace Lactation Week, a dedicated week celebrated in conjunction with National Breastfeeding Month, with a special focus on working and pumping. The 2023 theme is "Preparing for the PUMP Act." This themed week serves as an invaluable resource for leaders, parents, and businesses, providing essential information, resources, and best practices to promote a lactation-friendly work environment.

National Breastfeeding Month is celebrated in August every year, and is dedicated to raising awareness of the importance and benefits of chest/breastfeeding for both infants and parents. Organizations in the lactation space provide families with support, resources, and information, encouraging them to make informed choices, and overcome barriers they may experience. 

For many people, the act of feeding a newborn baby from the chest or breast is a natural and intimate experience that strengthens the bond between parent and child. However, not all individuals who breastfeed identify as women. For those who may identify as non-binary, transgender, or gender-nonconforming, the language and cultural norms surrounding breastfeeding can feel exclusive and alienating.

The birth of a child is often considered a joyous and fulfilling experience. However, for many women, the postpartum period can be accompanied by unexpected emotional challenges. Postpartum depression and anxiety are two common conditions that can significantly impact a new mother's well-being and ability to care for her child. In this article, we will explore the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for postpartum depression and anxiety, shedding light on this important but often overlooked aspect of motherhood.
