Global tech companies often operate in countries with varying maternity leave standards, which can be a significant barrier to breastfeeding support. In places with insufficient maternity leave, mothers are forced to return to work before establishing a steady breastfeeding routine, impacting both the mother and child's well-being. *Solution*: Implementing a company-wide maternity leave policy that exceeds local legal requirements can provide mothers with ample time to establish breastfeeding. Offering flexibility in returning to work, such as part-time or remote options, can also support this transition.
