Perceptions of support for breastfeeding in the workplace for women serving in Active Duty across all branches of the military were examined. Results indicate that military personnel feel there is a moderate level of support for breastfeeding in the workplace. Although many participants identified serious barriers to breastfeeding at work, about half of respondents had positive breastfeeding experiences and support from colleagues or supervisors.
