One big way to close the gap is to make sure moms have the community support they need! Missouri businesses take pride in supporting breastfeeding moms. Breastfeeding Friendly (BFF) worksites go the extra mile to provide space and time to support their employees. BFF child care facilities also offer extra support to working moms. We appreciate businesses that help close the gaps! https://health.mo.gov/living/families/wic/breastfeeding/worksiteinitiatives/
