This paper explores a literature review of how women are expanding more into the workforce requiring them to balance the demands of both family and work. As a result, the importance of breastfeeding is stressed, and the current research involving lactation support for working lactating nurses is investigated. The goal of this paper will be to assess a Southeast Georgia hospital for the barriers and perceived support for working lactating nurses. I predict that there will be a lack of resources and support for working nurses in Savannah Georgia. To investigate this, I will be conducting an anonymous survey using Qualtrics at this Southeast Georgia hospital. I will survey currently lactating nurses including women who have lactated while working at the hospital being surveyed within the last 5 years to increase the possible sample size.
