Supporting Breastfeeding Mothers in the Workplace: A Coaching Intervention in Egypt

A recent study explored the impact of breastfeeding coaching interventions for employed mothers in Egypt. The study involved semi-structured interviews with 28 working mothers who have breastfeeding experience. Researchers assessed their self-efficacy and overall well-being during the process.

Thematic analysis highlighted three key themes: 'Transition to Motherhood,' 'Returning to the Workplace,' and 'Benefits for Organizations.' The findings reveal that employed mothers need both managerial support and professional breastfeeding coaching to smoothly navigate their return to work while continuing to breastfeed. The results demonstrate easier transitions into motherhood, a successful return to work, and the ability to maintain breastfeeding, all while preserving their productivity and well-being.
