Abstract

Mother's milk is the best source of nutrition that can improve the health of mothers and children. Breastfeeding for babies is very important, especially in the early period of life, therefore it is enough for babies to be exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months without adding or replacing it with other foods or drinks . Working mothers are one of the reasons for not giving exclusive breastfeeding. After the maternity leave is over, many working mothers provide their babies with formula milk. One of the solutions that can be given is express breastfeeding to working mothers so that they can continue to provide exclusive breastfeeding. Expressing breast milk is one of the success factors of exclusive breastfeeding. Working mothers who have skills in expressing and storing breast milk will be more successful .
