Sample Language for Approaching Supervisors:
“It is important to me to be a good employee and continue contributing to making this a great place to work. It is also important to me to breastfeed my baby. In fact, my doctor has urged me to continue breastfeeding for my child’s health and for my own health. I’m going to need your help to make that happen, and I have a few ideas we could talk about.”
