Lactation benefits both lactating individuals and their infants. Despite high rates of breastfeeding initiation, physicians are a high-risk group for early cessation. Barriers to meeting lactation goals for physicians include lack of protected time, dedicated space, and collegial support. The emergency department (ED) is a uniquely challenging setting for lactating emergency physicians, given the high-stress, high-acuity environment that lacks predictability or scheduled breaks. This article presents an overview of relevant lactation physiology and evidence for specific strategies that the lactating emergency physician, colleagues, and ED leadership can implement to overcome barriers and facilitate meeting lactation goals. |
