Workplace Lactation in Neurology: Barriers and Opportunities

Background:
Federal law requires workplaces to provide appropriate space, time, and, when employees are not fully relieved of their duties during breaks, compensation to support pumping at work. The aim of this study was to assess the current landscape for lactating persons in neurology and to identify opportunities for improvement within the workplace.
Recent Findings:
Respondents of a 53-question survey distributed to AAN members reported varying levels of awareness regarding institutional lactation policies. Although most lactating individuals indicated that they had adequate time and space to pump, most were not compensated during their breaks. One-third of respondents stopped pumping earlier than intended, although most did not change jobs because of lactation-related challenges and continued to recommend neurology as a career to students.
Implications For Practice:
Ensuring designated time, appropriate space, and compensation for lactation at both the institutional and individual levels is essential to support early-career neurologists.
