## Caption

1 in 4 women in the U.S. returns to work less than two weeks after giving birth! That's before they've had time to recover, bond, or establish breastfeeding. Not because they are ready, but because they simply can't afford unpaid time off.

Paid leave isn't a luxury, it's a necessity.

💬 Have you had to go back to work before your body healed? Before you were ready? You're not alone and it shouldn't be this way. Drop a note in the comments if you're up for sharing. Together, our voices can push for the change moms and babies deserve.

Learn more about how the lack of support are hurting moms and families via the #NationalBreastfeedingMonth Blog Post at the link in bio. #NBM25 #paidleaveforall
