Abstract:
Pharmacy students wishing to maintain their breastfeeding relationship with their child while also excelling within a Doctor of Pharmacy program require important resources and a culture of support. This Commentary examines the challenges that pharmacy students who are breastfeeding face, highlights the importance of pharmacy schools and colleges providing breastfeeding and lactation support, and identifies best practices for implementing support measures for these students. We aim to guide institutions in not only supporting breastfeeding students but empowering them to excel personally, professionally, and academically.
