Our Why
A Note from Abbey Donnell, Work & Mother CEO
When I launched Work & Mother, I was not yet a mother myself. To learn about the nuances of breastfeeding and better relate to the experiences of new mothers, I decided to get a certificate in lactation counseling. I spent a week in a classroom alongside healthcare professionals learning everything I could.
I was blown away by the miracle of breastfeeding, but I felt outraged at some of what was being taught: there was a “breastfeed at all costs” attitude that failed to consider Moms’ mental health, working conditions or financial circumstances. The instructors simply didn’t understand the realities of being a modern Mom.
I decided then and there I wanted to create a guide and support system for working parents that considered their financial needs, understood the workplace, didn’t vilify formula and never painted breastfeeding as “free.”
This is that guide. And it is for you.
